Apr 09, 09
Once school staff members have reached a more complete understanding of why students are not attending school, they can investigate what strategies might be the most helpful for their students. A review of the relevant research and professional literature reveals a number of views and solutions for increasing attendance. Much research, especially research on truancy prevention, views attendance problems as the result of a 'functional problem,' such as self-motivation, peer relations, mental health, substance abuse, social skills, poverty, and discipline. Interventions are designed to treat these problems by using counseling and family mediation, involving law enforcement, and providing social services (see, for example, Dembo & Turner, 1994).

Dealing with tardy students is an important part of any teacher's job. Finding a tardy policy that works for you is extremely important. If you allow students to be tardy then you will be setting a precedent that will get worse throughout the year. Therefore, it is very important that you set up a workable system for dealing with tardies from the very beginning. "><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8
