9th Grade Transition Workshop

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

9th Grade Transition Workshop: Planning for a Robust High-School Orientation 

View the flyer HERE. 
Join us virtually in May for an event that will engage 9th grade leaders and team members with insights from NCS networks' past orientations and interventions. We'll focus on adolescent development research and its impact on academic performance, as well as school practices that support the development of academic mindsets. 
Participants will gain the skills to lead planning sessions with their teams, connecting research to current and potential practices. This will extend beyond orientation, integrating into classroom environments to ensure a seamless transition for incoming freshmen. By attending this workshop, educators will be well-prepared to plan a supportive 9th grade transition year, ultimately enhancing the academic and social success of their students. 
Whether you're looking to refine existing practices or introduce new initiatives, this workshop offers a valuable opportunity to collaborate with peers and experts in the field, ensuring a robust and supportive transition for all incoming 9th graders.
