Chronic absenteeism and truancy are on the rise, hindering student success. In our debut episode of the Educator’s Playbook podcast, we speak with two experts on the issue.
Richard Ingersoll concerns about the underrepresentation of male teachers in elementary school, and emphasizes the need for a more balanced gender mix among educators.
Jacobs was part of a panel discussion on the practice, which aims to arm students with coping skills and awareness to navigate their trauma in school and educational settings successfully.
When students miss school, it negatively impacts their learning and social skills. Michael Gottfried says the ripple effects also interrupt learning for peers and strain teachers.
Launching this fall, the Educator's Playbook podcast will examine some of the biggest issues facing K-12 today and share practical, easy-to-implement advice.
