Educator Launches Transition Camp to Help Students Adjust to High School<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An educator in Antigua and Barbuda is taking extra steps to support students through one of the most challenging transitions in their academic lives \u2014 the move from primary to secondary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingrid Daniel-Simon, who has spent 26 years in the education sector, is launching the Make Better Choices Transition Camp<\/em> from 18 to 22 August. The three-day workshop aims to equip students with the skills needed to cope with the social and academic demands of first form, where the workload can increase from four or five subjects to more than 12.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on state media, Daniel-Simon said the idea had been in development for some time. \u201cIt is not just doing lesson plans and going to work. It\u2019s helping parents to help their children,\u201d she said, adding that discussions with a colleague in Barbados helped shape the programme.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The camp will take a holistic approach, with sessions covering self-care, bullying, self-advocacy, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and the role of technology. Daniel-Simon said she would also remain available to assist parents and students during the new school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stressed that parents play a crucial role in the transition. \u201cI am the advocate for the parents being the first teacher to their children. Let\u2019s not send them to after class all the time. Sometimes it is not worth it. That time we spend with our children sometimes could make a bigger difference,\u201d she said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Spaces are limited, and registration costs $175, including lunch. Physical registration will be held at TN Kirnon Primary School on Thursday and Friday from 9:00 to 13:00, and interested parents can also call 780-3836 to register.<\/p>\n
