Managing Chronic Absenteeism & Disengagement
Contributing factors such as post covid impacts, the digital revolution with technological accessibility leading to digital overload, families in transition, the affordability crisis and more are just a few factors that have lead to student disengagement as well as chronic absenteeism. In many areas student success rates are declining, learning gaps are apparent, and learners are struggling with focus as well as learning retention. ​​
​
An opportunity is to create targeted school-based interventions for student disengagement and chronic absenteeism by addressing your data pool of students to label the "4 D" underlying factors such as:
​
Code 1: Disengagement (Learners do not see themselves in school and have lost the relevance of learning)
​
Code 2: Digital Overload (Students have habits that lead to lack of focus and diminished focus because of overexposure to digital technology such as cell phones, video gaming, social media, and more)
​
Code 3: Dislocation (Emotional, physical, and/or family upheaval related to transitions, trauma, food insecurities etc.)
​
Code 4: Deficit or Deficiency (Learning gaps that make school challenging or compounding learning gaps that result in learning deficiencies by being below grade level)
As Educators We Can Help...
Support students with digital overload who are disconnecting socially from their peers and school.
Help students get back their focus, soft skill work habits, and manage technological dependence.
Build on inquiry skills by learning how to map out goal setting through the power of stories.
Help young learners reconnect and be present in daily life while planning their future goals.
Help young learners to reconnect back to their why of learning and reclaim back their attendance rates.
