Strategies for Managing Developmental Crises in Schools

Transitioning from elementary into middle school, from middle school into high school, and from high school into postsecondary opportunities represents highly stressful and potentially traumatic times for students. Review the ASCA National Model's three domains-personal/social, academic, and career. Identify at least three strategies-one from each transitional phase-that you could employ to help students cope with and prepare for these developmental crises. Identify the domain within which each of these strategies fall.
