EDClass White Paper 2024 #1
Implementing Supportive Reintegration Strategies to Transform Attendance Challenges
Implementing Supportive Reintegration Strategies to Transform Attendance Challenges
Main Points
- “125,000 children missing more than half of school and 1.7 million children are missing half a day or more a week this academic year.” (Ofstednews, 2023)
- Provide a high-quality curriculum – Once the needs have been addressed for students a coherently sequenced curriculum must be provided even through remote education. A broad and balanced curriculum that continuously assesses students so their knowledge should be implemented.
- Create seamless communication – Being able to offer families clarity, consistency and confidence for their child can be achieved if early, targeted and evidence-based support is provided. It’s important to create a stream of communication with parents and encourage them to become more involved with their child’s education.
- Build rapport – Building rapport with students can help encourage them to engage more with their learning and potentially lead to a positive reintegration. Provide clear opportunities for students and parents to engage directly with the school itself not just the AP provider.
- 81.82% of respondents said that EDClass was either supportive or very supportive in the reintegration process of their students. The other 18.18% were neutral as their students didn’t reintegrate due to medical reasons, or others, but still boosted their attendance with marks being claimed.
