Der Wechsel in neue institutionelle Kontexte wird haufig aufgrund von veranderten Kommunikationsablaufen, unvertrauten Textsorten und fehlenden Schreibroutinen als schwierig empfunden. Der Beginn eines Studiums, der Einstieg in den Beruf oder der Wechsel von einer beruflichen Position sind dafur Beispiele. Solche UEbergange sind nicht selten mit Reibungsverlusten und langwierigen Enkulturationsprozessen verbunden. Der Band versammelt Beitrage, die sich mit der Erforschung von UEbergangen beschaftigen und didaktisch-methodische Konzepte zu deren Gestaltung unterbreiten. Neben schulischen, hochschulischen und beruflichen UEbergangen thematisieren sie auch solche, die durch veranderte Schreibtechnologien und Schreibformate gestiftet sind beziehungsweise durch die Entwicklung neuer Sprachformen angeregt werden.

Infused with a warm, affable tone, Making Music in Montessori is the Guide's guide to music education, providing Montessori teachers all at once a snappy, practical handbook, music theory mentor, pedagogical manual, and resource anthology. The book's goal: To give teachers confidence in music, so that when their children walk away from a lesson all fired up to compose their own music, their teacher will know how to guide them. Before Making Music in Montessori, teachers may have only dreamed of a classroom buzzing with children working, learning, and growing with music alongside all of the other subject areas in the Montessori curriculum. Now, it's a reality. If children's minds are a fertile field, then Making Music in Montessori will stir Montessori teachers of all musical backgrounds to don their overalls, roll up their sleeves, sow the musical seeds, and watch them blossom under their children's flaming imagination.
