What can Australia learn from our research?

Separation Transition Incorporation

School Transitions and the Concept Rites of Passage, Anders Garpelin 2016 AUS

Sweden can serve as a warning example

– Preschool-class a political compromise – One year on the bridge – Uncertainty for children, parents, teachers

Transitions from a teacher perspective

– Borderlands for teachers as shared spaces of understanding:

of each other’s pedagogical work
of critical challenges from the perspective of inclusive education
The Right for Rites of Passage from a child perspective

– Recognising transitions as rites of passage with three phases – marked transitions together with others – a celebration day entering the world of school children – positive experiences help manage later transitions in school and life
