Supporting Educational Transitions for Ages 3-19 - Hardcover

by Elizabeth Gregory (Editor), Liz Stevenson (Editor)

This book offers research-based evidence and advice on supporting educational transitions across all educational stages from ages 3-19. It introduces the key issues and debates, processes, assessments, cultures and curricula, from pre-school to tertiary education.

The book is divided into two parts, with part one covering the curriculum as a means of exploring academic aspects of transition, and part two taking a holistic approach, considering the social and environmental elements of transition, including factors such as disadvantage, and parental and community support. Each chapter includes case studies and practical tips and advice that educators can implement in their own practice, as well as suggestions for further reading. The topics covered include the role of SENDCOs, behaviour, diversity and equality, and emotional well-being. The book includes an introduction from the author and researcher Emma Turner (Discovery Trust, UK).
