Making Sense of Student Outcomes and Program Quality / Fidelity
Program Quality / Fidelity
Student Outcomes
Stay the course and work to do it better (elaboration and continuous regeneration)
Program Quality / Fidelity
Student Outcomes
Explore accuracy of program quality/ fidelity data. Determine if enough time has passed to expect changes
in student outcomes (keep initial implementation on track and move into full implementation)
Program Quality / Fidelity
Student Outcomes
Explore accuracy of data. Examine what else is happening / present that could be contributing to strong student outcomes (keep working to do it right through
initial and full implementation)
Program Quality / Fidelity
Student Outcomes
Consider intensive implementation supports (revisit exploration / adoption and installation)
Early Warning System
Attendance
The promise of EWS:
• use readily available data to identify students who are likely to drop out without intervention
• enable teachers and administrators to cut through the massive amounts of data they receive to focus on the most important indicators that can be incorporated into real time data systems to permit monitoring of student progress
• help schools and districts identify and examine the most effective ways to help students stay “on-track” to graduation
Early Warning Indicators:
ABC’s of Disengagement
Attendance
Behavior
Course Failure
Analyze existing policies/practices related to attendance, behavior, and course grading and to credit recovery opportunities
Build consensus on goals and strategies for dropout prevention (reducing absences, suspensions, and course failures) and dropout recovery
Create integrated school structures to assure appropriate/timely interventions to keep all students on track to on-time graduation
The ABCs of building a Dropout Prevention System
Chronic Absence is a Hidden National Crisis
Nationwide, as many as 7.5 million students miss nearly a month of school every year.
In some cities, as many as one in four students are missing that much school.
Chronic absenteeism is a red alert that students are headed for academic trouble and eventually for dropping out of high school.
Poor attendance isn’t just a problem in high school. It can start
as early as kindergarten.

Unpacking Attendance Terms
Average
Daily Attendanc
e
• Definition: The % of enrolled students who attend school each day
• Answers: What resources are needed to serve typical number of students who show up to school?
Truancy
• Definition: Typically refers only to unexcused absences and is defined by each state .
• Answers: How many/which students are skipping school and breaking the law?
Chronic
Absence
• Definition: Missing 10% or more of school for any reason – excuse, unexcused, etc.
• Answers: How many and which students are missing so much school they are academically at risk? Do we need to improve attendance in order to raise achievement?
32
Students Who Miss More Than 10% Of School Are At Grave Academic Risk
When 90% Doesn’t Earn an “A”
Chronic Absence(=>10% absence)
Warning Signs(<10% but >5% absence)Satisfactory Attendance(=<5% absence)
0-90%
91-94%
95 %+
Emergency: =>20% absence
33
Moving into Action Requires KnowingIf Chronic Absence is a Problem
Most Schools Only Track Average Daily Attendance and Truancy. Both Can Mask Chronic Absence.

Schools + Communities CAN Make a Difference
Characteristics of Successful Attendance Initiatives Partner with community agencies to help families carry out their
responsibility to get children to school. Make attendance a priority, set targets and monitor progress over time. Engage parents and students in identifying and addressing school,
family, and community issues that contribute to chronic absence. Clearly communicate expectations for attendance to students and
families. Begin early, ideally in Pre-K. Combine targeted interventions with universal strategies that nurture
an engaged learning environment, build a culture of attendance and ensure physical health and safety at school.
Offer positive supports before punitive action.

Solutions Only Work If Grounded in Understanding Of What Leads to
Chronic Absence
Discretion
Parents don’t know
attendance matters
School lacks a strong culture of attendance
Aversion
Child is struggling
academically
Child is being bullied
Barriers
Lack of access to health care
No safe path to school
Poor transportation
Special thanks to Dr. Robert Balfanz, Everyone Graduates Center, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD for providing this framework.

• Case management and wrap-around services
• Referral as last resort for court-based intervention
• Early outreach, support, mentoring for students with poor attendance
• Identify and remove barriers
• Attendance contracts
• Safe and supportive school environment• Engaging classroom environments• Parent education about why
attendance matters and how to help each other get students to school
• On-going attention to attendance data• Recognition for good and improved
attendance• Collaboration with afterschool and early
childhood• School-based health support
