Bedrock as a Stable Foundation
Everywhere on Earth, bedrock underlies the soil required for life to grow. SPAN exists to support the optimal underlying conditions regarding mobility so that students—and the adults who teach and parent them—can flourish. What are these most basic elements of solid transitions care? What does every mobile community need to consider for its students, parents, and staff to optimally develop and function?
​
In this Bedrock Principles series, Dr. Doug Ota will explore the “Seven Bedrock Principles” for positive transitions-care.
-
Why did an organization like SPAN need to be created?
-
What are the fundamental psychological principles that make transitions so challenging?
-
What are fundamental tools a school needs in its “tool box” to best meet such challenges, and what is the clinical and empirical basis for such convictions?
-
How must an organization like SPAN grow and evolve to respond to the world today?
This “Bedrock Principles” series is intended to be a timeless & deep exploration of some of the human issues most central to our schools. Given the profound challenges facing the world today, we at SPAN believe these principles are more important now than ever before.
