Chronic Absenteeism: The Importance of Connectedness - Dr. Clay Cook

Today our guest is Dr. Clay Cook, the Chief development Officer at CharacterStrong. We talk to Clay about the importance of connectedness when it comes to Chronic Absenteeism. He first asks the question “What happens when people don’t feel connected?” and shares about the SERVE model that helps educators intentionally connect at school. Dr. Cook also shares 3 ways that we can help students build value and purpose at school and ultimately be more connected: Promote positive educator-student relationships, Community-building relational activities, and School-wide opportunities that help students feel connected to school.   Click to download the Problem-Solving Blueprint for Chronic Absenteeism: characterstrong.com/chronicabsenteeism   Learn More About CharacterStrong:  Access FREE Curriculum Samples Attend our next live product preview Visit the CharacterStrong Website
