SEAC Learning Series: State Supports for Student, Family, and Community Engagement 

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and the Student Engagement and Attendance Center (SEAC) are hosting a virtual learning series for educational agencies and partners responsible for engaging students, families, and communities to promote regular school attendance. This session will feature the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

This learning series will provide participants with an opportunity to:

• Explore effective engagement strategies used by States to address chronic absence;
• Identify ways to support LEAs with engaging key stakeholders to promote regular school attendance; and
• Connect with peers to share promising practices and common challenges.

Each of the three virtual meetings is designed for SEA teams to learn from subject matter experts, share with their peers, and discuss how they can adapt evidence-based practices to their State’s efforts to address chronic absenteeism. This series is part of a year-long focus on Building Systemic Supports for Better Attendance.
