I find this really insightful. This past year there has been such a focus on improving attendance for all in my school which has thankfully been successful. Our SLT planning for next year has led us to focus on attention in the classroom which last still keeping up the attendance gains we have made. This has provided the exact linked-up-thinking that’s I needed to ensure both remain priorities as we move into September. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love this… I think school administrator and teacher should see this! So many people feel so much pressure to hit the ground running right away but the more time spent on establishing those routines consistently, then the more time will go to instruction!
Love this! Time is the resource I keep coming back to…even if my kids show up every day and try their hardest, they still need more time. I think hybrid models of education would alleviate the time bound problem and would help with the engagement issue. When a different quarter of your class is missing each day, holding a pace is very difficult. Thanks for writing this!😻
