Teachers TV: Transitions During Lessons

See tips for how to manage the transitions between activities during lessons, with examples of good and bad transitions, in a video to help with lesson planning. Trevor Wright, senior education lecturer at the University of Worcester, explains why transition points are crucial within lessons, and why teachers should consider them when planning lessons and activities. As well as ending one task and beginning another, he explains how they can reveal the learning within a lesson. Trevor looks at how transitions can hold the lessons together - or cause them to collapse. He offers advice on how to use transitions define and evaluate tasks, and practical tips on getting the balance right between them. Licensed to CPD College Ltd.
