Continuous School Improvement Roundtable
Where: Virtual Meeting - Register here.
For the first CLIU Continuous School Improvement Roundtable, we will focus on the challenges faced with regular school attendance in the 2021-2022 school year. By examining resources provided through Attendance Works, examining the tiered approach to supporting regular attendance, and discussing practices that local schools are using to approach regular attendance, we hope that participants will leave with new ideas to utilize in their schools for use throughout this school year and future years.
These roundtables are open to school and district leaders from all CLIU 21 regional schools.
