Amid persistent attendance challenges, there are real signs of progress.

This session brings together a panel of experts who will highlight breakthroughs from the field—what’s working right now—and actionable strategies district leaders can use immediately.

Attendance Work’s Hedy Chang will share the latest data and a shifting, root-cause-based approach to attendance grounded in family partnerships. TalkingPoints’ Mallary Swartz, PhD will present research on the impact of family engagement on attendance, including findings from Tulsa Public schools. Leaders from Tulsa Public Schools will share how they’re putting these ideas into action—and data that show how their efforts are making a difference!

Join us for practical insights, drawn from real schools tackling real challenges.
