Change is Hard! But it doesn’t Have to Hurt
2023-04-25 18:30 - 20:30 UTC | NC
Format: In-PersonPresenter: Renae Lingafelt-BeekerCHCs: 2Cost: $5 (non-refundable)Description: Experts estimate that 20-30% of a young child’s day involves transitioning from one activity to another. That’s a lot of moving and a lot of wasted time! Unless teachers plan transitions as carefully and intentionally as they plan the rest of their day, that time can be stressful and frustrating for teachers and children alike. Participants will identify the transitions in their daily schedule, determine ways to eliminate some transitions, and learn strategies to support smooth transitions.
