WARM-UP

Reflective Discussion!


“A whole-school approach to encouraging regular attendance and positive behaviors…often succeed with a large majority

(two-thirds to three quarters) of students.”

(Mac Iver and Mac Iver, 2009)


“In a three tiered approach to school-wide reforms (primary for all students,

secondary for at-risk students and tertiary for more intensive intervention) all three tiers are equally as important

and should be supported by data.”
