Creating A Culture
of Attendance…
Strong communities thrive in the face of adversity and
work together to achieve shared aspirations. Our region
is strong, and we are not alone. We are one of 390
Grade-Level Reading (GLR) communities that are embracing
the journey to address common obstacles impacting a child’s
ability to read.
Attendance Works, an ally helping the GLR Network jump the
hurdle of chronic absenteeism, is helping to LIFT, LEARN and
LEAD communities like ours through their new attendance
curriculum, created to equip school leaders, teachers, and school
support staff with an understanding of the issue, guidance, and
resources to reduce chronic absences.
They have created three modules to support teachers and school
administrators as each integrates attention to attendance into
existing practices. Each 40-minute course contains videos,
reflections, and opportunities to apply new concepts.
