The Empty Seat Epidemic

We can’t ignore the concerning decline in student learning observed across the nation. 25% student absenteeism during the 2021-2022 school year has made for troubling news and rising levels of misbehavior in classrooms. It's clear that we must refocus our efforts in bridging the gaps in student education. In this webinar – you’ll hear about two key strategies that your school system could use now to address challenges with discipline and chronic absenteeism: Empathic Instruction, a short online intervention that supports teachers to leverage the classroom management skills they have in order to respond empathically – rather than punitively - to student misbehavior.  Inform, a new product that recognizes the critical role families play with attendance and uses custom, data-driven communications to prevent chronic absenteeism before it’s too late. Join TNTP and Dr. Jason Okonofua, the researcher behind Empathic Instructor, to learn more about how we might partner to support your efforts to make sure that all your students are safe, in school, and learning. .
