Transition Days

from The Teachers' Podcast · host Chris Hyde & Emma Archer

In our second transition episode, Emma and Chris turn their attention to transition from one year group to another beyond Reception into Year 1! From changing classrooms and teachers to stepping into a new Key Stage, they discuss why transition matters and the impact it can have on children's confidence, wellbeing and learning. Drawing on their own experiences, they share examples of transition done brilliantly, a few that didn't quite go to plan and the lessons they've learned along the way. Expect plenty of practical ideas, from end-of-year activities and teacher handovers to simple things that can make a big difference over the summer break. Emma and Chris also reflect on the role transition plays in children's wellbeing, relationships and learning, and share their top tips for making sure September starts on the right foot. This week's teacher tip is all about pupil trays and is GUARANTEED to reduce time looking for a specific pupil’s tray!
