Currently in my classroom, I am concerned about the absenteeism of some of my students.

To investigate my concern, I need to collect information on

The student family background, so that I can easily manage on their problem of being absent.

I will gather information by collecting the following sources of data

Family income of the student.

After analyzing my data, I found that my students are having difficulties with

Their studies because of financial problem. They need to skip the class because they have to help their parents

To meet my students’ needs, I need to focus my instruction on

Classroom rules, giving incentives to those students who have perfect attendance.
