To address the pervasive issue of chronic absenteeismthat is, missing 10 percent of school days for any reasoneducators must begin to move away from a model of reliance on reactive and punitive approaches and toward one that is preventive and positive, and that uses proven principles of behavioral change.

Sample lesson plans
