Managed Transitions and their Positive Impact on Learning
This one day course is designed for Early Years practitioners, Early Years teachers, head teachers, teachers and teaching assistants.
“Transitional periods in the lives of children and young people are times of threat but also of opportunity for change. If children possess adequate coping skills, are in environments that protect against excessive demands, but also have opportunities to learn and adapt through being exposed to reasonable levels of risk, then a successful transition is likely.”
(Newman, T. & Blackburn, S., Interchange 78, p.8)
We will focus on:
- What we mean by a transition.
- Exploring children’s transitions both within the setting/school and external transitions.
- What we mean by managed transitions.
- What a child needs to have and to understand, to manage transitions positively.
- How transitions impact on learning.
- The role of the adult in promoting positive outcome to learning.
Characteristics of Effective learning will be woven throughout the content of this course.
