Getting Transitions right - Episode 1: Roles, relationships and change, with Dr Derek Grant
Description
At this time of year, our thoughts turn to move on, as children leave our ECCE settings and they start to get excited about Big School in September. For everyone, there is a sense of excitement and loneliness as the children and families leave a familiar secure place and look forward to a new setting. In Early Learning and Care settings, there is a sense of anticipation as we get ready to support new children into our settings. In this series, we look at how these transitions and changes can be navigated to ensure children and their families feel comfortable and excited about this new stage of their lives. In episode 1 Dr. Derek Grant from the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment talks about how the use of the Mo Scéal materials can help with the roles, relationships and change the transition to Big School entails.
