Sparks<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It is tough to bring students back to the classroom once chronic absenteeism rates begin to climb. As more districts struggle with historically high absenteeism, new research suggests they may need a more systemic approach to reengaging students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">A new working paper on Michigan schools released by the Annenberg Center found most school districts with severe attendance problems did not directly address absenteeism when planning school improvement strategies. Among those that did focus on improving attendance, few coordinated their interventions across schools and aligned interventions to combat the specific barriers keeping students from school.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>\u201cIf you think about the reasons that families are missing school, informing families about their children\u2019s attendance is certainly important, but it\u2019s not like the primary driver of absenteeism,\u201d Singer said, \u201cso there\u2019s a disconnect.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/tips-new-school-leaders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>3 Strategies for Successfully Starting Your Career as a School Leader<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from edutopia.org by\u00a0Alexandra Auriemma<br \/>\n<em>An assistant principal near the end of her second year in the job shares her advice for those moving into leadership roles.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>However, I\u2019ve learned that effective leadership isn\u2019t about having all of the answers; it\u2019s about knowing which questions to ask.

Given that this dynamic goes on for years, what is it doing to students\u2019 minds and spirits? To their agency and empowerment? Are we unintentionally graduating dependent young adults?<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nBut what if the opposite were true? What if schools empowered children to flourish? What if schools were the places where they could explore, identify, express, and develop their thoughts, feelings, and goals? There\u2019s power in the uniqueness of every child. It\u2019s time that school designs honor students\u2019 unique calling, preferences, and goals, and encourage them to pursue those. It\u2019s time to move fully into a new era for learning where learners can develop greater self-leadership than ever before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are two teachers better than one?
