RECOGNIZE

Leaders with high staff attendance emphasize the importance of attendance and recognize staff achievements.

    “We recognize every staff member in our attendance assembly for perfect or proficient attendance. We celebrated together, students, teachers, cafeteria workers… At the end of the year we gave the staff medals and trophies.”

Strategies:

• The way leaders communicate the importance of staff attendance and absences may have a positive impact on attendance.
• Focus on communicating attendance goals in positive ways.
• Recognize, show appreciation, and reward high attendance to send a clear message that attendance is important and noticed.
• Token incentives or rewards can be a physical indication of your awareness of the desired behavior.
