Workshop 4
Guilderland Central School 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.
