In this book, the authors posit that truancy is an indication that school curricula and pedagogy are not serving students’ needs as well as they should, especially when it comes to ethnic minority students and English language learners. This book explores the concept of classroom truancy where students are truant from certain classes after they arrive at school. Major research in the field, and how teachers, school leaders, and students can work together in solving this problem are also examined.
