After graduation, students are eager to jump into the next chapter of their lives, but sometimes things fall through the cracks. Summer melt is real, and it can make the transition to the next chapter way harder than it needs to be. In this episode, I’m breaking down what summer melt is, why it happens, and, most importantly, what we can do to help students stay on track. It's all about finding solutions and making sure our students have the support they need when they need it the most!
We’ll talk about the reasons why students sometimes lose momentum after graduation and how that can impact their future plans. I’ll share six main ideas for how school counselors can help transition seniors smoothly into their post-graduation plans. From simple check-ins to providing extra resources, we’ve got a lot of ways to step in and help bridge the gap between graduation and the fall semester. We’ve got this! Let’s make sure your students don’t just drift away over the summer but move confidently into whatever comes next.
