Q8: What’s one change you'll make next year based on what you've learned about helping students transition this year? What can we do to help students academically? Socially or emotionally? #engsschat
Q7: How do you collaborate with colleagues (next grade level, counselors, etc.) to ease student transitions? #engsschat
Q5: How do you make space for students to say goodbye, whether to each other, to the content, or to the year itself? What does your school community do, or what do you wish they did? #engsschat
Q4: What’s one lesson, habit, or mindset you hope students carry with them into the next chapter? #engsschat
Q3: What assignments, projects, or activities help students reflect on their growth over the year? What do you do to celebrate endings and help students prepare for next steps? #engsschat
A2: For Ss nervous about what’s next, I normalize those feelings, share my own experiences, and help them focus on what they can control. I also like to quote Beyoncé about her feelings of nervousness. Nerves are a good thing and mean we care. #engsschat
Q2: Transitions can be tough. How do you support students who are nervous or unsure about what comes next, whether it’s a new grade, school, or post-high school path? #engsschat
