School experiences around the world: My experience

2. Questions for reflection in the group

You could use this example to initiate sharing of experiences in your group.

Focusing on the example:

What do you think of this example?

How were the children in this example prepared for their first school day? 

What can be done to prepare children for school? 

Have you heard of the terms 'transition to school/preschool' or 'induction days'?

Focusing on parents' own experiences:

Do you remember starting school or preschool? 

What was it like? 

How does it compare to your children starting school or preschool? 

Do you have other school experiences that are really different or quite similar to those your children have today?
