Enhancing Transition Practices in Early Childhood Education: Training manual

The importance of a positive transition to school has been emphasised in research around the world. It is well established that a successful start to school is linked to later positive educational and social outcomes. During the transition to school, teachers/educators have opportunities to build relationships with children, families and communities that provide the basis for effective learning and teaching interactions. Educators (preschool teachers, primary teachers, etc.) have opportunities to share their own expertise, while recognising the expertise of others, as they communicate and make connections with children, other educators, families and communities. These three learning modules: 1. "UNDERSTANDING QUALITY TRANSITIONS", 2. "A CHILD-CENTRED APPROACH TO TRANSITIONS", 3. "BUILDING SUSTAINABLE TRANSITIONS" are created as a specific opportunity for preschool and school teachers/educators, and the systems in which they are employed, to work together and to use transitions' skills for their practice.
