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!) Mrs. Smith should definitely keep all documentation of her attempts to correct this issue. However, the guidance office needs to handle the next step in processing this type of situation.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I agree the teacher should collect the data but this issue needs to be addressed with the school social worker and truancy officer. The social worker will be able to visit the home and assess maybe a cause of the students absences. Rated On: October 16, 2016 4:10 am Rated By: ZeSuQy
