Chronic Early Absence: Why Does It Matter? What Can We Do? Presentation by Hedy Chang (Consultant, Annie E. Casey Foundation)
at the PTA Legislative Conference, March 11, 2009.

We often hear how important the three R's are in dropout prevention: Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships. Looking at the third R, Relationships, we naturally think first about the connections teachers and other school personnel are making with students — engaging them at a personal level; knowing each of them, their interests, their special problems, and their aspirations; caring about them as individuals; and thus not letting them fall through the cracks.
Third Annual National Bullying Prevention Awareness Week
Did you know that up to one-third of the nation's students will be bullied during the school year and each day more than 60 percent of students will witness bullying situations?
Hedy Chang continues to research the impact of chronic early absence on students' behavior.
Many schools and districts have proclaimed their "strategies for family engagement" and set about "doing things" but they have not succeeded in engaging all families. At best, many have merely increased the engagement of the already engaged.
The Commissioner's Parents Advisory Council (CPAC), a group that advises the Kentucky education commissioner on policy issues, has issued a ground-breaking report that sets a state standard for family and community involvement focused on improving student achievement. The report, The Missing Piece of the Proficiency Puzzle, contains six standards-based objectives, a sweeping set of recommendations, and a comprehensive rubric.

Action Briefs: Helping Parents & Communities Better Understand the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB)
NCPIE and the Public Education Network (PEN) have developed online Action Briefs for the major themes covered in NCLB. These Briefs can be used in multiple ways — as a training tool, for professional development, or an easy reference to the law's intricacies — with a variety of audiences. Each Brief includes information on what the law says, action items for parents and community leaders and a set of resources. There will also be resources on the legislation, regulations and policy guidance, a glossary of education terms and an implementation timeline. Come back regularly to get new Action Briefs.
NCPIE is a coalition of major education, community, public service, and advocacy organizations working to create meaningful family-school partnerships in every school in America.
