When participating in a track and field relay, race, it is important that each of the sprinters, speedily covers their portion of the race. Equally, important is the fluidity of transferring, responsibility from one runner to the next, the, critical passing of the baton, or "pasar la, batuta". It is in this moment when all of the, effort given by one runner helps jump start their, teammate in a seamless fashion, or when the work, is abruptly halted because the hand off is faulty., This critical transfer can define the outcome of, the race. The analogy of "pasar la batuta" well, articulates the responsibility educational leaders, in P-12 and higher education settings have for, fashioning a seamless transition for students to, navigate. As it stands, the movement between, primary and secondary education into postsecondary, education is disjointed. This course will explore, why the transition across the educational pipeline, is choppy, what factors need to be considered in, order to facilitate a smoother move, and the, opportunities for leaders to foster that change.
