For The 10th episode of the Teaching Tomorrow Podcast, Jay, Katie, and Steven revisit the topic of improving school attendance with Lindsay Makidon, Assistant Principal of Keys Grace Academy in Madison Heights, Michigan. Lindsay tells an amazing story of working closely with her staff to dramatically reduce chronic absenteeism with an all-hands approach that involved data, family engagement, and phone calls - a lot of phone calls. Listen and be inspired by this incredible story of one of Oakland county’s most improved schools for reducing chronic attendance.
Hosts: Jay Haffner - Literacy Consultant, Katie Morrison - Mathematics Education Consultant, Dr. Steven Snead - Supervisor of Curriculum & Assessment.
