Navigating School Transitions provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and facilitating the pivotal changes children face during their educational journey. This course emphasizes practical strategies that parents and caregivers can implement to support their children through various school transitions, such as moving from preschool to kindergarten or from elementary to middle school. Participants will engage in project-based learning, allowing them to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios, ultimately enhancing their ability to guide children effectively.
The course will delve into the psychological and developmental aspects of school transitions, equipping participants with tools to foster resilience and adaptability in children. Through interactive workshops, discussions, and collaborative projects, attendees will explore the roles of communication, emotional support, and community resources in easing these transitions. By the end of the program, participants will have developed a final project that showcases their understanding and application of course concepts, which they are encouraged to publish in Cademix Magazine.
