Transition to School – Creating positive pathways for success
Research clearly illuminates that the transition to school profoundly impacts children’s ongoing well-being, learning, and development. It is imperative that we critically reflect on our approach to this critical event in children’s and family’s lives in our settings.
There will be a focus on:
- How our beliefs about children and learning impact our decisions and practices
- How connections create a bridge for success and stem from ongoing reciprocal, respectful relationships
- The value in creating opportunities for children and families to be active participants in the process
- Transition as a time of advocacy, not only for the child but also for the early childhood profession.
