SPAN Across the World There’s an old African proverb that says “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” At Safe Passage Across Networks (SPAN) we feel fortunate to be able to walk the journey of positive transitions-care alongside partners who inspire and support our work. February Highlights: Jane Barron (SPAN Director of Training & Consulting) and Valérie Besanceney (SPAN Executive Director) joined Elizabeth Gillies on a podcast episode of Successful Student Transitions. Valérie had the pleasure of facilitating in-person workshops for students and parents at the International School Haarlem, the Netherlands.

While each of us might look at it from slightly different angles, we all share a common goal: the wellbeing of our students and the positive development of our communities. We might go slower than we sometimes want but we are definitely going together and far. |

Laws of Transitions Certificate Course |
|
|
In January 2023, we welcomed our fourth cohort of our Laws of Transitions Certification Course. This intensive, 8-week online course provides participants with understanding and practical strategies to develop or enhance transitions-care for students, staff and families in their school community. |
|
|
The current Laws of Transitions Certificate Course cohort is in full learning mode, getting ready to conclude their course and create their graduating project. We have been blown away by the depth and breadth of the discussions, by the commitment of the cohort to the understanding and further development of positive transitions-care in their communities and by how open each participant has been to share from their personal experiences so that others could learn and empathize. We feel incredibly privileged to have front row seats witnessing this transformation and look forward to continuing this dialogue in upcoming events. |
