Strategies

Support interventions that provide chronically absent students with resources to improve self-esteem, social skills, etc. and address familial and school-related factors that can contribute to poor attendance

Focus heavily on reading and math achievement, enforce high behavioral expectations through a formal discipline system, lengthen instructional time, and increase feedback on teacher performance

Improve work environments for nurses via establishment of strong nursing leadership, organizational support, etc.

Provide academic instruction to students during the summer, often along with enrichment activities such as art or outdoor activities
