I think the collaborative process for 6th grade transition has been quite successful. We have had a few meetings and taken the time to outline each levels objectives, goals, and timelines (elementary & junior high). The key has been open communication, respectful listening, and a true cooperative approach. We now have a working plan of who will be doing each task, with the agreement to follow up and reflect on the efficacy afterwards to make adjustments. Each party is getting exactly what they want, with no compromise.
