Which of the following is an example of an evidence-based practice for addressing student absences?

Arranging for volunteers to call students who do not come to school
Asking the school social worker to conduct a home visit after a student misses three days of school
Conducting a small counseling group for students with more than five school absences
Implementing a previously validated attendance program

The correct answer is: Implementing a previously validated attendance program

An evidence-based practice is one that has been proven effective through scientific research and empirical evidence. Option A, arranging for volunteers to call students who do not come to school, may be helpful in keeping students accountable, but it has not been shown to have a significant impact on attendance. Option B, asking a social worker to conduct a home visit after a student misses three days of school, may also be useful, but it is not considered an evidence-based practice. Option C, conducting a small counseling group for students with more than five school absences, may be beneficial for the individual students involved, but it may not be as effective for addressing absenteeism on a larger scale. Option D, implementing a previously validated attendance program, is the best answer as it has been proven to be effective in addressing student absences. By implementing a program that has been validated through research, schools can be confident that they are using a method that has been shown to produce positive results.
