Create a single attendance tracking form that can be filled out quickly and easily interpreted.	Teacher-myself   Principal   Head Attendance Clerk   Teacher group	We were given one week to have the final form completed so that the office personnel could begin to filling out student's information. 5 school days.	Conglomeration of previous attendance reports.   Variations of the new form.   Input from the principal, teachers, and attendance clerk.   Review examples from online resources.	Does the newly created form eliminate the need to run multiple reports in order to track lost seat time? If so, is the form quickly accessible and deliver required information?
Implement the accepted form in the attendance office.	Teacher-myself   Attendance personnel   Head Attendance Clerk	Two days to go over the need training on how the forms need to be filled out.	Copies of the accepted form.   Time to train staff.   Samples of what reports this form can replace.

Review the complied data from a 6 weeks' worth of documentation.	Teacher-myself   Principal   Attendance personnel   Head Attendance Clerk	6 weeks worth of school to collect adequate data.	Principal   Completed forms   Standard attendance reports	Does the data recorded on the new form simplify the amount of paperwork required to track the loss of student seat time?

Reflect on the data contained in the new form and create a list of students that need intervention and options for those students.	Teacher-myself   Principal   Teacher group	3 school days to go over material and identify students and responses.	Principal   Completed forms   List of students habitually missing seat time.	Are there rebuttals and options that can be provided to students to help improve attendance? Is the problem large-scale or a few repeat offenders?
