Consider how mastery, autonomy, purpose, and belonging all contribute to our motivation and our desire to get anything accomplished, let alone the hard things.

As we approach the end of the traditional school year, many of you are having conversations about transitioning your child, your classroom, your caseload to the next program or to the next providers. Transitions are normal - we transition from one task to another, from one location to another - so how can we normalize and improve transitions from one classroom or program to the next for our learners?
