What do we refer to as “transition” when writing lesson plans?
20
Transitions: The process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. Examples in a classroom? 20
21
Plan for Transitions Minimize the number of transitions that children have during the day. Minimize the length of time children spend waiting with nothing to do. Prepare children for transitions by providing a warning. Structure the transitions so that children have something to do while they wait. Teach children the expectations related to transitions. Individualize supports and cues.
