WEBINAR: Supporting School Attendance in a Time of Changing Norms

Attendance is crucial for student success and closing academic gaps, but the pandemic has disrupted traditional in-person schooling, leading to increased chronic absenteeism. Innovations like four-day school weeks, hybrid learning, micro-schools, and school choice options have changed educational norms. These shifts pose challenges, especially for lower-income students who rely on school for learning and support. Join for a webinar where experts will discuss the attendance challenge post-pandemic, key drivers of chronic absenteeism, and strategies for improving attendance. Speakers include Nat Malkus from the American Enterprise Institute, Hedy Chang from Attendance Works, Denise Forte from the Education Trust, and Johann Lijengren from the Colorado Department of Education.
