Speakers Session:

Leading Learning with Data: Attendance and Achievement

It is estimated that more than 100,000 students in Alberta are impacted by school absenteeism and are placed at significant risk of negative future outcomes, such as economic disadvantage and mental health challenges. Rocky View Schools launched the Attendance Innovation Campaign which aimed to educate communities, empower schools to utilize data, and eliminate barriers to student attendance through a system of tiered interventions. This approach to absenteeism was expected to increase attendance rates, academic achievement, school engagement, and collaboration between Rocky View Schools and local community agencies. The techniques, resources, and results of this initiative will be shared. A broader discussion about the process of getting good data into the hands of schools will be threaded through the presentation.
