Workshop 2
Bethlehem Central School District—Ensuring Student Success
from One Level to the Next
John Piechnik and Dr. Michael Tebanno
This session will present information and
recommendations for educators to consider as we look to
ensure the success of our students, transitioning from one
level to the next. Review of best practice from around the
state, as well as successful transition models occurring
within the Capital District Region, will be reviewed. The
purpose of the AVID program is to restructure the teaching
methods of an entire school and to open access to the
curricula that will ensure four-year college eligibility to
almost all students.
John Piechnik is a recently retired
Social Studies Supervisor at Bethlehem CSD for 17 years. His
interest in transition programs came about from a sabbatical
he completed as a member of the Bethlehem staff. From this
study he worked to develop major changes to transition
procedures within the district.
Dr. Tebanno is currently the Assistant
Superintendent for Educational Programs and Instruction for
Bethlehem CSD. Before this post he served as Principal of
Bethlehem High School. He has worked with John in developing
the transition programs for the district.
