The Student Engagement Initiative (SEI) is based upon connecting with students and families in a proactive manner during the months leading up the opening of schools. Using Concentric’s Home Visit framework and Student Engagement App, the goal of the SEI is to identify the barriers that attributed to chronic absenteeism, disengagement, poor academic performance, and/or behavior challenges. Through the SEI, the school’s MTSS process is developed and strengthened, resource mapping conducted, and interventions and supports aligned.
