Supporting Students in Effective Transitions Webinar

This webinar was hosted by the Region 9 Comprehensive Center (R9CC) and the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE) on April 25, 2023. The webinar features a panel discussion with students and staff from West40, R9CC advisory board members, and experts on how youth-serving adults can best support students transitioning from non-traditional settings, such as alternative schools, to traditional school settings.

Students and panelists discussed how teachers and school staff can create a more welcoming, and positive learning environment, how schools can pair students with a significant adult in their school, and how staff can communicate more transparently to support students in their transition. Students and panelists also discussed how schools can better address disciplinary issues and what that looks like in practice.

The event also highlights recommendations and insights from an infographic developed from focus groups conducted by the Region 9 Advisory Board with students at West40, an intermediate district serving 41 school districts and three co-ops in Illinois.
