Easing the Big Shift to Middle School
The move from elementary to middle school is a significant leap. Students say “goodbye” to having one classroom for every subject and “hello” to multiple teachers, different instruction approaches, and a lot more homework!
- The demands of executive function skills increase exponentially.
- Organization and planning skills are essential for a smooth transition.
- Effective routines need to be established quickly.
Mastering Middle School from SOS4Students is an intensive, master workshop that prepares and teaches incoming 6th graders everything they need to know for a successful transition.
Skills needed for middle school success:
- Navigating online learning platforms, such as Google Classroom
- Proficiency with paper planners for schoolwork and outside activities
- Setting up a simple, easy-to-use notebook and folder system
- Understanding how to break up a project into manageable chunks
- Ability to advocate for themselves with different instructors and personalities, whether by email or in-person
- Notetaking from presentations, text, and for research (math needs notes too!).
