Successful Transitions: Guiding Students from Kindergarten to College and Beyond
We know that successful student transitions are always top of mind for education professionals, and even more so after the past two years.
Students are struggling with transitioning to new levels, schools, and peer groups.
You can help your team navigate the turbulence of the “new norm” and come out the other side all the better with support from our experts.
On Oct 19th at 2 pm ET, we’re hosting an expert panel discussion on how to help:
- Expand your students’ abilities to navigate transitions
- Build resilience in your school district, institution and schools
- Proactively address skill gaps in student transitions at all levels
Learn how to help students navigate transition at every stage of their educational journey.
