Working Together for Children: Strengthening Transition Pathways
Collie, Louise; Willis, Felicity; Paine, Crystal; Windsor, Corina
Education in Rural Australia, v17 n2 p81-93 2007
The "Working Together for Children: Strengthening Transition Pathways" Team has identified that there is a gap between the Early Childhood settings and schools within the Dubbo area. Through meetings with early childhood professionals within Dubbo the authors have identified that the current landscape of care and education within their community includes some positive relationships between traditional preschools and schools, however a communication barrier does exist between schools and long day care, family day care and community playgroups, as well as in the home. In this article, they discuss their strategic plan and the implementation and evaluation of the project. They conclude with some recommendations for the future.
