Risk factors can predict concerns with chronic absenteeism. Educators can connect the dots between risk factors like mobility, history of absenteeism, student behaviours, declining student achievement or health. Noticing a change is one thing. Acting on it by telling someone else is another.
Restorative suggestions:
- Know that there are many little things that you can do as a teacher when observing risk factors related to absenteeism.
- Know that you can talk to others in schools, districts and communities who can help.
- Establish a connection base through the relationships with students and families in order to be able to make a caring response to students.
