What are districts actually doing to improve attendance and decrease chronic absenteeism? And how well-aligned is it to root causes, especially in high-absenteeism contexts? I address these questions in a new @AnnenbergInst working paper: edworkingpapers.com/ai24-932
Excited to share our latest paper: Social-Emotional Well-Being for High School Students: Guidance for School and System Policy and Practice rand.org/pubs/research_repor… via @RANDCorporation with @WallsEdLead Brief thread on our top takeaways. 1/6

Please join us today! We will be sharing the results of our study about how teacher turnover disrupts school improvement efforts w/implications for leaders and policymakers, w/reflections by scholars and practitioners. @utexascoe@USCRossier@LPI_Learning@Spencer_Fdn

#Community Schools are a good investment. When school and community resources are organized around student success, they are more efficient and effective at boosting educational outcomes and often do not use additional resources and Coordinators play a key role. #CoordinatorsRock

Community school coordinators work with the principal and the rest of the school community to develop a vision and goals for the school, student and family well-being, and student learning. #CoordinatorsRock

ALT Alt text: A colorful wheel highlights the Essentials for Community School Transformation: a dark blue outer band describes the supportive infrastructure (sustainable resources, shared governance structures, etc.). Within that, a light blue band describes the key practices: Powerful student and family engagement; collaborative leadership and shared power and voice; expanded and enriched learning opportunities; rigorous, community-connected classroom instruction; culture of belonging, safety, and care; integrated systems of support. Within that, a teal band describes the enabling conditions (trusting relationships, shared vision, etc.) and an orange band describes who drives the work (school staff & coordinators, youth & families, community partners). At the center, highlighted in yellow is why we do this work: so all students flourish in thriving school communities.

Really important insights from @ekgermain, @lehernandez02, and colleagues for Maryland districts aiming to expand student resources through community schools!

In 2022, nearly 13.8 million students were chronically absent. Frequent absences can cause students to fall behind, but community schools are a research-based strategy that schools can adopt to address the underlying issues. Blog by @ekgermain: learningpolicyinstitute.org/…
Great new report from @ekgermain@lehernandez02 and colleagues detailing how four California community schools are approaching chronic absenteeism. A lot in here is not unique to community schools (eg, data tracking, MTSS) but two key things stood out to me. 1/4
During this coordinators appreciation week, check out our new report on the crucial role they play in reducing chronic absenteeism in community schools #coordinatorsrock@IELconnects@CommSchools
