During
this videoconference, participants will learn about causes of
truancy as well as some promising strategies to intervene with
chronic truants, address the root causes, and stop the youth’s
progression from truancy into more negative behaviors. Many of the
programs that will be featured include a combination of incentives
and sanctions and target the reduction of risk factors associated
with the incidence of truancy. The importance of raising awareness
of policymakers, stakeholders, and community members about
the consequences of truancy through educational outreach programs
will also be reviewed.
This broadcast is designed for anyone concerned with youth at risk
of dropping out of school, including local and state policymakers,
state directors of juvenile justice, judges, local community
leaders, juvenile justice researchers, law enforcement, educators,
school administrators, probation, and social service/child welfare
officials.
