Managing Transitions in the Classroom

Focus: on observing how the MST manages transitions during the school day.

Objective

• List the type and function of all the transitions observed during the school day and evaluate
the efficacy of the strategies used by your MST to facilitate them. (Table 2)
• Build upon and implement strategies for building positive relationships with children,
colleagues and families from the list provided as Table 3.

Procedure:

Whilst implementing the Task:

• Create a table such as Table 3 below to:


• List the type and function of the transitions that you observe during the school day.
• Identify the strategies that are used by your MST to facilitate these transitions.
• Comment on the success of these strategies in terms of both promoting positive behaviour
and minimizing the incidence of challenging behaviour.
• Make practical suggestions about how these transitions could be modified in order to further
promote positive behaviour and minimize the incidence of challenging behaviour.

Questions to reflect upon:

1. Why do you think transitions are important?


2. How do they help children?
3. How do they help the teacher?
