What can educators do to enhance young students’ academic performance? How can they increase the likelihood of on-time high school graduation?

This archived webinar explores successful school transitions into and out of elementary school aimed toward enhancing students’ academic performance.

Join a team of researchers and school principals as they explore several successful strategies for helping students transition in and out of elementary school.

Administrators from one elementary school and one middle grades school explain elementary transition strategies such as vertical orientation supports, appropriate student placement, and setting academic and behavior expectations.

In addition, researchers from WestEd’s California Comprehensive Center will share identified transition themes.

This webinar is one in a series targeted at school and district administrators, school counselors, teachers, school board members—anyone with an interest in strategies for promoting successful transitions for students into and out of elementary school.
