Early transitions into, between, and out of early childhood education

This webinar speaks to earliest transitions in early childhood education as threads of significance in and across time.

The panelists are Professor Jayne White (Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha) University of Canterbury), Fiona Westbrook (Campus Creche, Waikato), Bridgette Redder (Kaiārahi Hōtaka for Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand), Kathryn Hawkes (senior visiting kaiako, Home Based Education Inspired Kindergartens), and Waveney Lord (pou whakahaere at Best Start Waikato).

The researchers draw from their discoveries as members of a recent international project that set out to better understand the social and emotional event-of-becoming that took place for tamariki, whānau, and kaiako during movements into, between, and across diverse educational settings. They share their insights concerning ‘what works’ and why, in consideration of local, bicultural, and intercultural contemporary perspectives that have been generated out of the International Study of Social and Emotional Experiences in Early Transitions (ISSEET).
