No matter how effective your instruction is, students need to actually be in your classroom to learn. Yet despite many schools’ best efforts to ensure attendance, too many kids are not showing up.
As part of our fall School Improvement Webinar Series, Maine DOE invites you to join us Tuesday, Sept. 17 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m for a webinar entitled “Getting Kids To Show Up,” led by Rachelle Tome (DOE Chief Academic Officer), Susan Lieberman (Spurwink), Suzanne Godin (South Portland School Department) and Daniel Chuhta (MSAD 75). This free online session will examine ways to improve attendance and provide takeaways for structuring the school day, communicating with families and much more, including successful strategies straight from Maine schools that have improved their average daily attendance and student performance as a result.
Join the webinar here or call in at 877-455-0244 (conference code: 4690629793).
Details about other webinars, offered as part of our commitment to being a resource to support all schools in their improvement efforts, are coming soon. In the meantime, save the date for:
- Supporting Common Core Implementation (ELA), Tuesday, Sept. 24 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
- Supporting Common Core Implementation (Math), Thursday, Sept. 26 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
