Welcome to Season 2 of Am I The Teacher?— where we’re focusing on one of the most pivotal parts of a child’s learning journey: transitions.
In this opening episode, we look beyond the academic side of moving from one stage to another, exploring the emotional, social, and identity shifts that children experience. Transitions can be daunting, but they can also be powerful opportunities for growth when approached with care and collaboration.
💡 Key Points Discussed:
Defining “transition” in education — it’s more than just a new year group or school; it’s a shift in expectations, relationships, and routines.
The invisible changes children, families, and teachers face during these times, from social adjustments to emotional wellbeing.
Rethinking transitions as opportunities, not hurdles — how parents and educators can turn moments of uncertainty into stepping stones for resilience and confidence.
✨ Key Takeaway:Transitions aren’t just academic checkpoints; they are whole-child experiences that shape confidence, resilience, and identity.
🎯 Challenge of the Week:Reflect on a transition your child is going through (or will soon face). Ask yourself: how can you make this shift less daunting and more empowering?
