Observation Task3: Managing Transitions

 List the type and function of the transitions that you observe during the entireschool
day.
-Teaching routines – explicit teaching of expected behavior.
-Pre corrections-quick reminders of expected behavior before the transition.
-Positive reinforcement procedures – incentives for appropriate behavior.
-Active supervision –an effective method for monitoring students.
 Identify the strategies that are used by your MST to facilitate these transitions.
-I observe that my MST have good management and have good strategies in facilitating
these transition because she have a goal to achieve, focus, and she have plane.
 Comment on the success of these strategies in terms of both promoting positive
behavior and minimizing the incidence of challenging behavior.
-The strategies that my MST do was very grate because they know what they will do in
times of encountering different incident that’s why the flow of the transition are very
successful.
 Make practical suggestions about how these transitions could be modified in order to
further promote positive behavior and minimize the incidence of challenging behavior.
-I suggest that doing these strategies can help the facilitator to achieve their goals of
having a successful transition at the same time the learners can easily understand what
they are doing.

Discuss the possibility of managing these transitions yourselves with your MST. With reference to
your notes decide how best to do this and implement it next week. Evaluate your own performance
and redesign your strategies based on your experience. Build on your learning in this area over the
course of the placement.
