Feedback Survey

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. By focusing on Tier 1, schools can begin the preventative interventions to foster an environment that promotes positive learning, engagement and attendance. The DuPage ROE has been using the SEAT Tool offered by Attendance Works. In this session, we will walk through the SEAT assessment and provide feedback on how you can successfully administer this tool in your district.
