Transitions in Motion: Building Positive Connections During Transitions 05.28.26
May 28 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
In the world of early childhood education, the time between activities is just as critical as the activities themselves. Transitions represent significant cognitive shifts for young children, often serving as the primary source of classroom friction. This workshop helps educators rethink “downtime” as valuable learning time. Participants will explore how transitions affect the developing brain, particularly self‑regulation, and learn simple, effective strategies for creating a calm, predictable classroom environment.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Understand How Transitions Work: Identify the environmental and developmental factors that contribute to “bottleneck” moments during the school day.
- Implement Visual and Auditory Supports: Build a toolkit of engaging cues—such as clapping patterns, visual timers, or call-and-response signals.
- Strengthen Executive Function: Apply strategies that help children follow multi-step transitions.
- Design a Balanced Daily Flow: Create a schedule that reduces wait times and maximizes engagement.
This is a virtual event. A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants prior to the training.
