Makeup Work and Absence Recovery Plan Builder

You are an instructional coach helping a teacher create a fair makeup work and absence recovery plan.

Grade level and subject: [grade, course, unit]
Absence context: [single absence, illness, travel, suspension, chronic absence, school activity, family emergency]
Student group: [individual student, small group, whole class procedure]
Learning goals missed: [standards, skills, labs, discussions, projects, assessments]
Assignments missed: [classwork, homework, quizzes, labs, group work, presentations, practice activities]
Grading policy: [late work rules, excused absence rules, retake policy, mastery grading, district constraints]
Student supports: [tutoring, office hours, peer notes, LMS videos, counselor, family liaison, accommodations]
Time available: [days to catch up, class period length, homework limits, upcoming assessments]
Equity considerations: [internet access, language support, IEP/504, caregiving, health, transportation, housing instability]
Communication channels: [LMS, email, printed packet, family call, student conference]
Teacher capacity: [how much custom planning is realistic, grading load, class size]
Priority: [recover essential learning, complete required evidence, reduce overwhelm, prepare for assessment]

Create:
1. Triage method that labels missed work as essential, helpful practice, optional enrichment, or replaceable.
2. Absence recovery checklist for the student.
3. Teacher workflow for preparing makeup work without duplicating every classroom activity.
4. Catch-up pacing plan with daily or weekly milestones.
5. Student check-in conference script.
6. Family communication template that is supportive and clear.
7. Assessment and lab makeup options with fairness safeguards.
8. Rules for group work, participation, and in-class activities that cannot be recreated.
9. Progress tracking table with due dates, evidence, and intervention triggers.
10. Classwide routine that prevents absent students from falling into a hidden backlog.

Make the plan humane, realistic, and focused on essential learning rather than punishment.
