Transition is a process… not an event

Transition involves collaboration with other providers

Top Ten Ways Staff Can Support Transition for Young Children 1. Participate in any training opportunities that help you understand your role in transition processes, such as: Meeting and explaining procedures to families Providing information to families Completing paperwork Helping the child feel comfortable Regulations – federal, state or local/agency Specific learning strategies Sharing records and information

Top Ten 2. Have a procedure for systematically identifying the skills all children have when they enter your program. 3. Have a plan for targeting the skills that need improvement and work on those consistently through classroom activities.

Top Ten 4. Find out what teachers in the next educational setting expect children to know 5. Help families understand the expectations for the next educational setting.

Top Ten 6. Provide families with strategies to work on at home to help the child develop the skills you are working on at school. 7. Listen to family concerns about transition and try to find solutions or seek assistance using the resources available.

Top Ten Things That Promote Quality Transitions For Children 8. Share any issues or concerns you have about the procedures for children transitioning into your school or classroom or leaving and going to another classroom. 9. Know the Agencies and Services in the community.
