3 semester hours

Candidates will gain the knowledge and skills to effectively collaborate with all school partners in order to support and increase pupil attendance, and gain superior knowledge in the culture and structure of the public-school system at both the school and district level to better serve in their role as a CWA student advocate. With a greater knowledge of the culture and structure of the public-school system, candidates will become familiar with the contributing factors to pupils who are not successful in school, including barriers to learning and attendance. Candidates will research and learn ways to intervene and improve school attendance, while providing pupils and their families with the appropriate level of support. This course is designed to specifically address the CTC CWA Standards under the theme of “Professional Skills and Training.”
