Description
""This workbook is intended for School Social Workers and others who find themselves in positions either in a school, or school district, working in the area of attendance improvement and dropout prevention and recovery. It is intended as a practical guide to going about actually doing this complex, multi-faceted, and very important job. Many books and articles have been written regarding why students drop out of school, along with numerous suggestions of how to address this nationwide problem, but none to the best of my knowledge have provided direction to actually going into a school and starting to tackle this challenging problem.""--
