Teacher absenteeism is the topic of the 12 ERIC abstracts contained in this leaflet. Research on the topic discusses the causes of the problem, including, among others, job dissatisfaction, the organizational structure of the school, school size, weather conditions, and relaxed teacher responsibility. Strategies for improving teacher attendance are also discussed in the materials abstracted. These include setting up a system that rewards good attendance, requiring teachers to speak to the principal when they call in sick, and special counseling for teachers with high absence rates. (MLF)
