Teachers and governments all agree that if you wish to raise educational standards then it’s imperative to improve school attendance, and yet an average of around ten per cent of secondary pupils are missing school on a daily basis. Despite governments around the globe trying to address this situation, any improvements have been negligible and improvements in school attendance have been stubbornly hard to achieve. As an internationally recognised expert on this topic, Professor Ken Reid offers workable, practical solutions to help schools improve attendance and to reduce non-attendance and truancy at government level, school and local authority level, individual pupil level and at the family level. Underpinned by the very latest research, but expanded upon with an accessible, practitioner focus, the issues covered by this topical text include: The causes of non-attendance and truancy Successful interventions and the evidence from research Reflections on the attempts to find national solutions Implementing home-school solutions An agenda for the future Supporting throughout with case-studies and workable solutions to the most demanding of situations, this book will be essential reading for head teachers, deputy head teachers, teachers and any educational professional eager to raise standards for all.

Each day, around 450,000 of the 6.7 million pupils in state maintained schools in England miss school. Research indicates that children who do not attend school regularly are more likely to leave school with few or no qualifications, and are more likely to be drawn into crime and anti-social behaviour. Parents are responsible by law for ensuring that their child receives full-time education, whilst the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) has overall responsibility for school attendance. This NAO report finds that pupil absence from school is caused by a number of factors relating to the child's home life (such as parental attitudes, familial problems or holidays during term-time), the individual pupil (such as genuine illness, behavioural problems or bullying) and the school environment (quality and relevance of teaching, management of bullying or school-parent relations). The DfES has spent about [pound]885 million between 1997 and 2004 on initiatives intended to tackle the problem, resulting in a reduction in authorised absence. However, unauthorised absence has not declined, the causes of which have proved difficult to tackle.There is scope for further improvement of existing DfES national initiatives through closer partnership with local authorities and schools to ensure best practice is more widely adopted, and by focusing on parental attitudes and the role of Ofsted and primary schools to improve attendance management.

This book is a practical learning guide for planning strategies to address student absenteeism. It provides administrators, teachers, outreach workers, social workers, attendance specialists, clerks, and other professionals with information and potential planning solutions for dealing with students (who are absent from school consistently) and their parents/guardians. Ideally, this book will guide schools to create a campus plan to tackle this issue efficiently and appropriately. The focus of this book/guide is to provide recommendations to Alternative, Middle, Elementary, and High School staff for structuring a detailed plan to manage school absenteeism. Schools must have a clear goal, complete with names, responsibilities, time frames, proof of completion, and resources to be effective. Early intervention is the key to identifying truant students and getting results, and this guidebook provides the structure for staff to implement such a plan and initiate early intervention. Throughout this guide, I will use the term "truancy" and "absenteeism" interchangeably, recognizing that truancy is a legal issue. At the same time, students miss school for other reasons (with or without their parents' consent). As all school professionals know, students who are not on campus cannot learn, and the more they miss, the greater their chances are of becoming dropouts, thus affecting their entire life experience. Many campus personnel who are assigned the responsibility of students' data and attendance are not trained adequately. They lack knowledge of local board policy, state attendance laws, proper use of data codes, withdrawal codes, printing attendance reports, contacting parents, setting up meetings, and seeking legal intervention. Is there a user-friendly resource attendance manual that is ready for campus personnel who need technical support? Is there a campus plan with a checklist available for campus staff attendance responsibilities, time frames, resources required, and evidence of completion? These things need to be in place to identify truant students and provide early intervention quickly. This practical guidebook is written for attendance professionals new to truancy, tenure professionals, clerks, outreach workers, social workers, and others responsible for working with students and their excessive absences. It is a straightforward guide for preparing anyone to deal with truant students and their families. Part One discusses the causes of truancy, while Part Two provides detailed strategies for managing school attendance. It can be used as a presentation for training attendance professionals, staff members new to truancy, and specifically for those responsible for students in their district. In addition, it can be used as a refresher workshop annually. This guidebook is designed to will help reduce the dropout rate and increase attendance in schools.

School absenteeism is a pervasive and difficult problem faced by mental health and school-based professionals. Even in mild forms, school absenteeism has been shown to be a significant risk factor for social, behavioral, and academic problems in middle childhood and adolescence, as well as psychiatric, economic, and occupational difficulties in adulthood. Problematic absenteeism has been examined for decades by professionals of many different disciplines, leading to a considerably fractured literature. Managing School Absenteeism at Multiple Tiers provides an integrative strategy for preventing, assessing, and addressing cases of youth with school absenteeism at multiple levels of severity and complexity. Dr. Christopher Kearney presents a multi-tiered framework based on prevention (Tier 1), early intervention for emerging cases (Tier 2), and more extensive intervention and systemic strategies for severe cases (Tier 3). Each tier is based on empirically supported strategies from the literature, and emphasis is placed on specific, implementable recommendations. This approach is based on a Response to Intervention model that has emerged as a powerful guide to prevention, assessment, and treatment of social and academic problems in schools. Response to Intervention is based upon tenets that parallel developments in the school absenteeism literature: (1) a proactive focus on early identification of learning and behavior problems and immediate, effective intervention, (2) universal, targeted, and intensive interventions, (3) frequent progress monitoring, (4) functional behavioral assessment, (5) empirically supported treatment procedures and protocols to reduce obstacles to academic achievement (including absenteeism), and (6) a team-based approach for implementation. This user-friendly, practical guide will be useful to mental health professionals, school administrators, guidance counselors, social workers and psychologists, as well as others who address kids with problematic absenteeism such as pediatricians and probation officers.
