Join us for an exciting presentation that touches on the fascinating world of adolescent brain development! We’ll also peek into critical issues like how poor choices and substance use can interrupt brain growth, highlighting important signs to watch for. Plus, we’ll share tools and resources to help support your students, families and schools.
Schools can effectively address truancy at various levels of intervention by utilizing a multi tiered system of support. This tiered approach ensures that all students receive the appropriate support they need to improve their attendance, fostering a more engaged and successful school community. Focusing on Tier 2 interventions allows schools to identify students who may be experiencing some sort of attendance problem and intervene to help correct the behavior before the student becomes a chronic truant. The earlier the preventative interventions can take place, the less likely those students will move on to needing Tier 3 interventions. The DuPage ROE has created a 12 week curriculum that combines SEL lessons, executive functioning skills and resilience skills, called AIM Groups. Every week is focused on using those skills to improve attendance. In this session, you will take part in the actual lessons and see how to effectively administer them in your schools.
