Teacher and Parent Transition Guides
Help ease the transition to high school
The teacher and parent Guides are designed to address the needs of students and their parents and to help build a bridge for the critical communication between elementary or middle school and high school.
Many transition concerns confront students and their parents. The Guides aim to reduce alienation and to increase positive attitudes and involvement related to school and learning activities.
The interventions include activities to establish a welcoming and socially supportive school community. The teacher and parent Guides can be easily adapted for the move to college/university, work, travel. The guides help students overcome anxiety related to:
- Being picked on and teased
- Choices
- Harder work, different evaluation
- Making new and more friends
- Getting lost

The Wellness Wheel is introduced in the Teacher Guide then expanded in “Wellness: A Question of Balance” where the Wellness Wheel is the anchor. The Wellness Wheel model provides a framework for lifelong learning about health and becomes the norm in a school community culture.
