A8: One thing that I'd like to do is leave time for more revision with student writing. Revision is an important part of the writing process. #engsschat

Q8: What’s one change you'll make next year based on what you've learned about helping students transition this year? What can we do to help students academically? Socially or emotionally? #engsschat

Wow, this time has flown by. Our final question of the night is coming up!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and great ideas. We are getting close to end! If you have any great resources to share, feel free to share them. #engsschat

A7: Talking to colleagues about how to support students through these transitions is essential. Counselors are able to have conversations about post-secondary steps. #ensschat

Q7: How do you collaborate with colleagues (next grade level, counselors, etc.) to ease student transitions? #engsschat

Get ready to share ideas with Q6. #engsschat

A5: Endings are hard. We have a lot of senior activities to celebrate the end of the year. My favorite is post-secondary day where they wear shirts to signify schools, programs, and careers they will take on next. #engsschat

Q5: How do you make space for students to say goodbye, whether to each other, to the content, or to the year itself? What does your school community do, or what do you wish they did? #engsschat

Q5 is coming up. Let’s get ready to talk about endings. #engsschat
