The Attendance Professional Certificate Series is Attendance USA’s foundational training in Attendance Science™ — the evidence-based study of why students attend school and how to improve it, pioneered by Dr. Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, Founder & CEO of Attendance USA.
Across six modules you will move from shared definitions and metrics, through building an attendance culture and role-specific interventions, into data analysis, family engagement, and the housing and hunger barriers that drive many chronic-absence cases. Each module closes with scenarios drawn from real school situations and a Knowledge Check.
Modules:
- Understanding Attendance and Chronic Absenteeism
- Building an Attendance Culture
- Addressing Chronic Absenteeism through Role-Specific Interventions
- Attendance Data Analysis
- Family Engagement and Stability
- Housing, Hunger, and Homelessness
