The transition from high school to college can be difficult for
many students. This book shares examples of situations that
students might face during their transitions and ways in which
teachers, parents, administrators, and mentors can help students
prepare to handle similar occurrences. The book is intended to
create opportunities for thoughtful dialogue and interactions with
students in an effort to develop the skills needed to address minor

This book focuses primarily on elementary to middle school
transitions. This book was developed with a two-fold premise: one,
that educators and parents understand the role they play in meeting
the basic developmental needs of individual students during times
of transition; and two, that school leaders understand how
critically important it is for organizations to create structured
transition processes to better ensure student success before,
during and after transitions that supports the growth and
development of students. This book includes authentic scenarios
that are research-based to help combat the barriers associated with
the transitional moves elementary students may experience. The goal
is that school organizations and institutions will work
collectively to strategically develop district-wide and
inter-agency (high school and college) transition plans to help
students with these critical periods.

Privileged thinking in today's schools is alive and well and shows
its ugly head in a variety of ways that often go undetected (or are
not addressed) by the educators down in the trenches. In this
collection of scenarios and episodes, many of which were
experienced by the authors in their years as school administrators,
you will find an array of provocative examples of social injustice
in the classroom, and what you can do to prevent it in your own
school community. As the authors candidly and vulnerably reveal
their own 'blind spots' and biases that occurred 'on their watch, '
readers will be able to take a look in the mirror as well, thus
taking a critical step in better advocating for those students
'left on the fringe' in classrooms and schools
