Let's Talk About... Transitions Across the Day

PītauNovember 25, 2024

Yesterday Cate Desmond, our psychologist, ran a professionals sessions about supporting successful student transitions across the day.

Thanks to everyone that attended, including staff from 5 other kura across the takiwā / region.

Cate summarised a range of strategies that can support successful transitions:

  • To big a change

  • I don’t know where I am going / what I will have to do

  • I don’t know how long or how much work this will take

  • I am ready to move and you want me to sit!

  • I get distracted on the way

  • I got here but then you weren’t ready for me so I did something else

  • I like what I am doing now and I don’t want to leave

  • I am in the middle of a ritual and you want me to stop

  • I know what you want me to do but the activity or place we are going is too bright/noisy/busy/ messy

  • I know what you want me to do and it's hard

  • I know what you want me to do, its hard and I hate making mistakes

The slides from today's session can be seen here and are attached.
