Register today for this six-part webinar series hosted by the Western Educational Equity Assistance Center (WEEAC) at WestEd.
Date: December 6
Topic: Increasing Attendance and Engagement for English Learners
Time: 2:00 p.m.– 3:30 p.m. (PT)
Chronic absence–which includes absences that are excused, unexcused, or due to suspensions–is a leading indicator of inequity. When chronic absence occurs, it is a sign of challenges inside and outside schools (e.g. unstable housing, unreliable transportation, historical trauma, disengaging educational experiences, bullying) that not only cause absences but also affect children’s ability to learn overall if they are left unaddressed.

Note: Because high levels of absenteeism require a systemic response, WEEAC strongly encourages participants to consistently send a core team to each of these 90-minute sessions. Each person on your team will need to register for each session they would like to attend. Once registered, you will see an icon on the confirmation page, prompting you to add the invite to your calendar. Please select that option to avoid having to register twice.
