ABC Framework
Attendance
Behavior
Course Performance
![Page 23: ATTENDANCE/DROPOUT PREVENTION Presenter: Rebecca Derenge, Coordinator, WVDE Attendance, Neglected and Delinquent, McKinney-Vento, “Homeless Education”,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae69c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Attendance Relates to disengagement
Kindergartener’s missing 30 or more days of school
Need to create a culture of attendance
This is a life and job readiness skill
Legal consequences after 5 unexcused absences
Many contributing factors : substance abuse, family
problems, depression, pregnancy, boredom, social
anxiety,

All behavior is purposeful (family problems, substance abuse,
learning problems, boredom, child abuse etc.)
