Through this training, participants will acquire key tools and knowledge to prevent and manage problems concerning attendance and school dropout. The course is designed to strengthen the skills and competences of these professionals or parents, so that they can support students in developing regular school attendance habits and overcoming related risk behaviours.
To this end, the course covers three main sections:
Awareness of school attendance problems. This section defines school attendance problems and their consequences, establishes risk detection criteria, and analyses causal factors.
Addressing school attendance problems. In the second section, tools are offered to tackle these problems by addressing emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.
Communication strategies and intervention in school attendance problems. The last section deals with communication with pupils and strategies for intervening in cases of school absenteeism.
