Seamless Transitions: Reimaging classroom progression in Montessori schools

By Elizabeth G Slade

Seamless Transitions is an approach that reimagines the entire process of how children and families experience the move from one classroom to another. In conventional settings this happens every year and is often done by the main office staff or by a computer. In contrast, in Montessori schools children move to a new classroom only every three years and so the transition can be anywhere from unsettling to upsetting if done without a process that allows for preparation and planned steps taken over time. Everyone should see what's coming: children, families, school adults, and be able to walk towards it with a sense of excitement. Class transitions can then be a celebration of growth and readiness for the child rather than an unknown event that happens to the child.
