Transition to kura/school from early childhood is a well-researched topic and kaiako are aware of the importance of developing a smooth transition between the two contexts. Rather than focusing on how this can be done, this professional development explores the two curriculum documents to create a shared understanding of what is fundamentally important for children as they begin this transition. By exploring and unpacking both the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Whāriki we hope to explore what skills knowledge and dispositions support a successful transition regardless of the context.
This workshop will suit early childhood and jura kaiako who have children transitioning.
The aim of this workshop is to:
