District—The Student Experience in Transition Programs
Lisa Patierne and Team
To address a need for more personalization
and to support the transition from 8th to 9th grade,
Guilderland HS staff formed a 9th grade transition team,
reviewed the research, and implemented a transition program
which includes a 9th grade advisory program, mentoring,
student/parent centered events, and a large scale 9th grade
student/parent orientation.
Lisa Patierne is a 9th grade Dean at
Guilderland High School She is bringing students and
teachers from the 9th grade transition team to aid in
explaining the many facets and stages involved in the
process of creating a successful transition program.
