Easy Transition Planning Activity Ideas

August 22, 2017

Meaningful transition activities are sometimes difficult to come up with, or at times even implement. Working with teachers in many capacities – it seems most of them share a common frustration: coming up with transition activities that are relevant to their students, engaging, and authentic.
With that, I felt that a good, in-depth list of transition activities that could be utilized would help out.

So, without further ado, here is the list.
