This month's featured narrative describes how a Counties-Manukau school reduced truancy and lateness through partnering with Police in a school-wide intervention to address the issue.
The impact could be easily assessed because the intervention used specific data to set a baseline (25¨C30 students late per day), and set a measurable long-term goal (to reduce lateness to 2¨C5 students per day). At the end of the intervention, the same source of data was then used to measure the impact of the goal (a reduction to only 1 or 2 students late per day, usually with valid reasons).
This narrative can be found in the Narratives section of the School Portal.
