Moving to Secondary School by Lynda Measor,Mike Fleetham Pdf

Transfer from primary to secondary school is one of the most significant and difficult steps in a child?s life. This educational transition coincides with physical and emotional changes, as well as significant ?rewiring? within the brain. Evidence suggests that this time is one of both profound anxiety and optimistic expectation.Such strong feelings and daunting changes inevitably affect children?s emotional well-being and sense of self. Successful transition is crucial to a child?s secondary school career. Pupils who fail to settle are more likely to become alienated and disruptive and suffer the well-known academic ?dip?.Moving to Secondary School helps teachers to understand and ease children?s anxieties and to focus on the positive. The book tackles worries about organizational aspects of secondary school life, such as school size, timetable and workload, and personal concerns about making friends, being bullied and getting on with teachers. It also considers how teaching differs between primary and secondary, and how special programmes can offer continuity in students? learning, while allowing for the discontinuity that signals children becoming more grown up.Working from careful background research and case studies, the book suggests short activities and longer-term programmes including:otaster day and fun day visits to secondary schoolsoteacher exchanges between primary and secondary schoolsospecial parents? eveningsosummer holiday projects and induction activitiesoutilizing peer mentorsocreative writing, role play, discussion and gamesotransition passports and diariesolearning style and multiple intelligence profilesothinking skills activities for inductionoexercises to promote self-confidence and improve social skills.

Understanding School Transition by Jennifer Symonds Pdf

School transition is a life changing event for children - they are rarely faced with such a powerful set of personal and social changes. These underpin the immediate and longer term wellbeing of children, peer groups, teachers and schools. Understanding School Transition provides a most comprehensive, international review of this important area, complete with practical advice on what practitioners can do to support children’s wellbeing, motivation and achievement. Offering an accessible introduction to children’s psychology at transition, Understanding School Transition explores transition as a status passage, what we really mean by wellbeing, and the ways in which children adapt to new environments. Key chapters focus on: Understanding stress and anxiety Children’s hopes, fears and myths at transition Parents’ and teachers’ influence and role Children’s relationships with peers as they change schools Children’s personal and collective identities Motivation, engagement and achievement Supporting the most vulnerable children Crucially, it advises how you can help children through implementing transition interventions and evaluating their success in your own school. Illustrated by case studies of experiences in real schools, Understanding School Transition will be essential reading for all training and practising teachers, as well as transition and subject specialists, who want to better understand and influence what happens to children at this critical stage.
