Transition to High School
Spring is an excellent time to begin to prepare 7th grade students for their transition to high school. This HSWOW webinar will cover how to teach students about their personal learning styles, and how to become effective communicators and self-advocates for success in high school. The course will include different types of communication skills necessary for helping 8th graders write to their future high school teachers, plan and run meetings with high school teachers, and communicate the content of their IEPs (Individualized Education Program).
