This year’s conference theme, "Strength in Numbers," is a celebration of a decade of data-informed progress from across our network and an opportunity to discuss our future direction. Join us for our 10th-anniversary celebration. We will look back at the evidence-informed progress we’ve made as a sector but also look forward to the pressing issues of the day. This year the event will take place at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA from May 20–22, 2019.

Batting .750: Results From a Series of Fall 2018 Attendance Pilots Breakout Session
Limited Capacity seats available

In education, the list of interventions that are effective, generalizable and manageable to implement is frustratingly short. It’s even shorter when we look for interventions that meet these conditions and improve attendance. In our session we intend to make that list a little longer. We’ll share the results of a dozen attendance pilots run in the fall of 2018 in seven districts and CMOs across the country. And we’ll invite the audience to join in generating hypotheses about why the effective interventions worked and what that can tell us about what practitioners should try next.
