Pyramid Model Practice Based Workshop - Smooth Moves: From Chaos to Calm in Classroom Transitions


Smooth Moves: From Chaos to Calm in Classroom Transitions
A Pyramid Model Workshop for Early Childhood Educators

Transitions can be tricky — moving from one activity to the next often leads to waiting, confusion, and challenging behavior. But with the right strategies, transitions can become smooth, engaging, and even fun learning moments. This workshop helps educators design predictable, positive transitions that keep children connected, focused, and ready for what comes next.

This is a practice-based workshop with a hands-on structure:

  • 45-Minute Interactive Presentation — Learn how to plan and support transitions using songs, visuals, movement, and routines that reduce stress and maximize learning.

  • 15-Minute Video Reflection — See successful transition strategies in action and reflect on how they support positive behavior.

  • 60-Minute Tinker and Take — Create transition tools, songs, and activity cards to use right away in your program.

You’ll leave with:

  • A clear understanding of why smooth transitions reduce challenging behavior and support emotional safety.

  • Practical strategies to make transitions active, playful, and meaningful learning opportunities.

  • Ready-to-use visuals and materials that turn tricky moments into calm, connected ones.
