What role do clear expectations play in the Transition Phase?

Clear expectations are essential during the Transition Phase as they help create a structured environment conducive to learning. When students understand what is expected of them in terms of behavior, participation, and academic performance, they are more likely to engage positively in their learning activities. This clarity reduces anxiety and uncertainty, enabling students to focus on their tasks rather than worrying about rules or outcomes.

Having clear expectations also helps in establishing routines and promotes accountability among students. They know what is acceptable and what isn’t, which guides their actions and decisions in the classroom. Ultimately, a structured environment fosters a safe and supportive atmosphere, allowing students to thrive academically and socially as they navigate transitions in their learning journey.
