Chronic student absenteeism is an equity epidemic—it impacts short- and long-term student outcomes and school performance. Each year almost 8 million students are chronically absent for complex reasons, presenting educators with a unique challenge. Listen to Dr. Todd Rogers and Phyllis Jordan in a panel on implementing evidence-based interventions that make a measurable impact on attendance, and, in turn, student outcomes moving the needle on district-wide goals.

District leaders will learn more about:

• Evidence-based strategies for improving attendance at scale
• Applying behavioral science insights to mobilize families to support attendance outcomes
• The need for a higher standard of evidence when it comes to education interventions

Listeners will have the opportunity to hear from a fellow district leader about implementing evidence-based Absence Reports to reduce absenteeism. This recorded edWeb podcast is of interest to kindergarten through high school district leaders.

It is safe to say that many of us feel unprepared for the current coronavirus pandemic. Even the most unflappable among us are impacted by social isolation, limited access to goods and services, joblessness, a faltering economy, and of course profound concerns about the physical and emotional health of our loved ones and ourselves. Most educators have had little or no training in designing instruction for distance learning which, as we are all learning, is very different from in-real-life instruction.

Listen to Michelle Luhtala in a conversation about the instructional design of online learning, with high school librarian and Rutgers University lecturer Dr. Brenda Boyer. The two discuss easy-to-use design models to guide online instruction development, some rules of thumb to keep in mind, and tools and strategies to capture and retain student engagement. This conversation highlights resources to support audience needs.
