Transition Tool Box

Description

The move from primary to secondary school is one of the biggest changes in a child’s education. It involves a change of classes and teachers, an increase in school size and staff numbers, different teaching styles and a wider curriculum. The social dynamics may also change, as children encounter a new and more socially diverse population of pupils.

This tool box is designed to support children through this process, by helping them to build the confidence and skills they need to ensure a smooth, successful transition to secondary school. It also provides parents and professionals working with young people with a comprehensive range of resources for supporting children during this transition.

The facilitator’s notes are explicit and provide details as to how to deliver each activity.

The cards can be used flexibly to suit the learning context and the individual students and are organised in six sections:

• Making the transition;
• Building self esteem and confidence;
• Developing resilience and problem solving;
• Managing stress and anxiety;
• Being a learner in high school; and
• Building strengths and setting goals.
