Four Pillars of Reducing Chronic Absenteeism

Understand the Root Causes of Absenteeism

Schools That Lead helps educators identify and analyze the underlying reasons behind chronic absenteeism, such as transportation issues, student disengagement, or family challenges. This diagnostic approach ensures schools address the real barriers to attendance.

Use Improvement Science to Drive Change

Through the use of evidence-based improvement science, schools test and refine small strategies to find what works best in their unique context. This method empowers educators to build effective, sustainable attendance solutions over time.

Build Teacher Leadership and Team Collaboration

Schools That Lead promotes shared leadership by engaging teachers in identifying problems and leading change. Collaborative school teams design and implement attendance interventions that reflect the needs of their students and communities.

Create Belonging to Boost Attendance

A strong sense of belonging is essential to student engagement and consistent attendance. Schools focus on relationship-building, positive connections, and inclusive environments to help students feel seen, supported, and motivated to come to school.
