Transitions are integrated all throughout our daily routine. From the time we wake, until we go to bed we are transitioning in one way or another. For little people in particular, transitions can be downright challenging and this in turn makes it challenging for you as a teacher. All hope is not lost. Transitions, while tough, can be a rich learning experience for children and not just “another thing” that takes away from instructional time. By the end of this training you will: 

1. Describe how you can use transitions as a behavior management strategy and to reinforce concepts you taught during the week
2. Prepare a template with the components to lesson plan your transitions during the day. 
3. Identify 5 activities you can incorporate into your schedule to make transitions easier. 

This training will discuss targeted and effective approaches to transitions and give you a deeper understanding of how you can best utilize transitions and when. You will learn how to best overcome transition challenges and we will give you real strategies to effectively plan, and execute transitions to make your day run smoothly.
