Looking at our HSLF Transitions Definition….

Transitions is the process of change from one state or activity to another. Our team’s focus areas are on the transitions between middle and high school and between high school and postsecondary options.

In anticipation of the changes proposed within HSLF, our work also supports staff, parent and community transitions.

We are taking a closer look at physical, emotional, intellectual and social changes with the goal of planning for and providing opportunities for students and staff to fully engage in meaningful learning experiences.

Where we came from• Site visits• Analysis of what is currently in place• Post-graduate panel• Research of best practices• Backcasting from end vision of
