Attendance data drives the changes. With the data we were given, our research did not show a statistical difference between students engaged in the intervention ATSA:TWO by TEN and the control group. And yet we heard some terrific stories of collaboration behind the data. One participant said ‘very early in our learning, we had talked about the checklist for absenteeism and the protective and risk factors. So we had brought that to our staff meeting We had shared that as part of a resource that we would want to incorporate into our attendance folders (in order) to help us for those targeted students identify, what are the risk factors and the protective factors that those kids are struggling with? And then that allowed us to better understand those particular students and their needs and how we could support them.” And there are many more stories worth reading!
