Case: Attendance issues
Ms. Smith has a student that only attends school on an average once or twice a week. The attendance has been turned in to the truancy officer and meetings have been called with parents. The lack of attendance is causing a drop in grades. The intervention teacher cannot collect enough data to move the student up or down a tier. What should Ms. Smith do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would notify the school social worker. The truancy officer will be able to combat the issue at one angle, and the school social worker can actually make a home visit to evaluate the living conditions-- there is a probable cause. The teacher should keep a documentation book for her classes. She can record all of the attempts to call home, and she can record/print the progress reports for the student. Any correspondence with the principal, counselor, truancy officer, parents, and school social worker should be printed and placed in this documentation book as well. |

Comments: This is a great solution the social worker and truancy officer are able to combat the attendance issue or find out the cause of the attendance issue. Also the teacher will have the documentation to back up the claims of lack of attendance so that when a conference is called the teacher will be able to present the evidence for the bad grades. |

Comments: Notifying the school social worker is a great idea considering this sounds like a bigger issue than just the student beings absent. |
