The book considers the perspectives of pupils, parents and teachers, and in particular deals with the concepts and practicalities of curriculum continuity and progression in the core subjects--English, math and science. Section two of the book offers specific advice, illustrated with examples of good practice, on how the needs of children in transition may be met by teachers and schools. The authors provide materials for conducting a transition audit, which will enable schools to identify their strengths and weaknesses in their approach to transition. This is taken a step further with guidance on setting up school networks and liaison processes. |
