Reviews
“Perspectives on Transitions in Schooling and Instructional Practice addresses transition from many perspectives, resulting in breadth and depth of insight and practical examples of initiatives in response to reforms and changes in education. This book will make a valuable addition to initial teacher education and professional development reading lists.”
Ann Marie Hill, Professor of Technological Education, Faculty of Education, Queen’s University:
“Perspectives on Transitions in Schooling and Instructional Practice is a major contribution to scholarship that presents, in one book, transitions in schooling and instructional practice across a continuum of educational years. As such, the reader does not have a pinhole understanding of the content, but can understand the importance of each stage of education and its contribution to the next stage.”
