Avoiding the Attendance Slump: Strategies to Maximize Learning Time in June. A TASC Resource Guide
Traill, Saskia; Brohawn, Katie
ExpandED Schools
The After-School Corporation (TASC) works to build education enrichment into an expanded school day because extra time spent in engaging learning activities leads to better outcomes in school and beyond. There's one month, however, when students in many schools lose learning time: June. In 2013, NYC elementary and middle schools saw their average attendance drop from 95.3% in April to 89.5% in June. In this report, we offer some specific strategies to increase learning time and attendance rates, boost engagement, minimize summer learning loss, and accelerate performance in the next grade.
Descriptors: Attendance, Extended School Day, Enrichment Activities, Attendance Patterns, Time Factors (Learning), Change Strategies, Prevention, School Holding Power
