Continuity & Transition Project 2017/2018

Day #2

Starting school is a major event in the life of children and their families.

How children continue to flourish as they experience the multiple challenges and opportunities brought about by the transition to school, will be strongly influenced by the context and practices of the school community.

This is the second of our project days where we explore the challenges and opportunities for children’s learning, growth and development in the processes of starting school. At this workshop Cathie Harrison from Australian Catholic University will join us. Our agenda includes:

Reflecting on our progress to date using:

Dialogue together
The ‘Transition to School Rubric’
One school’s story – Sarah Kostiw from St Theresa’s will share their experiences
Cathie Harrison to share her research experience from NSW

Transforming our pedagogy:

How we undertake ‘Continuity & Transition’ practice through the lens of children’s development and learning, the EYLF, the Australian Curriculum Foundation Stage.
Consider documentation and assessment of children’s learning as an aspect of continuity and transition.
