Abstract

In this subject students will discuss the importance of a parent/educator partnership in supporting transitions for their practice. They will develop an information resource to support an educational transition at a specified point in the continuum of education from Birth to 12 Years of age. A review of current literature on transition pedagogies will inform the design of the resource. They will present it to their peers for feedback. A final reflection will outline the impact the trial has on understandings of educational transitions and on practice.
