When I was a teacher, I launched a statewide esports league in New Jersey and saw firsthand how powerfully esports draws students to school.
Attendance rates at public schools are higher than they were at the height of the pandemic, but they have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. This is troubling for educators, who want students safe and learning in school. It’s also of material interest to administrators, since state and federal funds are often tied to attendance rates.
Here’s how esports help improve attendance, how you can maximize their appeal, and how to keep your upfront costs low so you can maximize the return on your investment.
