Examines transitions within education - between year groups, key stages and schools - and how they can be managed and supported for the maximum benefit of the pupil. There is recognition that educational experiences can have a profound impact on both employability and future well-being. Beneath the political rhetoric is the need for a deepened understanding of how to develop lifelong learners, who can react positively to change and who can think critically, reflectively and independently. Supporting and managing transitions within the educational system lies at the heart of this and is therefore vitally important for all pupils. Drawing upon theory, the book provides examples of practical strategies supported by real life case studies from both working practitioners and key stakeholders including pupils and parents. These raise awareness of both challenges and good practice, while also providing key opportunities for different sectors to learn from one another.
Rhiannon Packer worked at the University of South Wales for nearly 14 years and is now based at Cardiff Metropolitan University - so understands how the transition from one institution to another can be a huge upheaval, despite the many similarities. Before entering higher education she worked as a secondary school teacher, including roles as Head of Year and Acting Head of Department, as well as undertaking research for a PhD.
