Welcome to your mini training series all about ROUTINES. In this season we are getting GRANULAR on what we were never actually taught but has a significant impact to the start of the year and classroom management ALL YEAR LONG. 

In this episode, the Besties practical strategies for managing EFFECTIVE classroom transitions. We discuss the common challenges teachers face during transitions and introduce tested methods like the '1-2-3' technique, gradual start and stop, using timers, and incorporating role-play to maintain smooth transitions. We also emphasise the importance of minimal verbal instructions and adaptability to meet the needs of all students. The session concludes with a roundup of discussed strategies and a reminder to approach transitions with patience and care.
