Summary:

"This is an international, interdisciplinary and research-based handbook about various educational and life transitions. This handbook has 30 chapters, divided into five parts according to their focus: theoretical/conceptual, multiple transitions, multi-dimensional transitions, dynamic environment, and research/practice/education. Editor Jindal-Snape's Multiple and Multi-dimensional Transitions (MMT) Theory runs as a thread through and between each chapter. MMT Theory takes a complex view of transitions and proposes that each individual experiences multiple transitions simultaneously, and in doing so can trigger transitions for significant others, and vice versa. Chapters lean into this complexity as they delve into childhood and youth transitions into education and care and between school and work, as well as professional transitions into leadership, and family and life transitions. The handbook is the first reference work to establish transitions research as a field in its own right. It presents two new frameworks and principles for undertaking effective multiple and multi-dimensional transitions research and practice. This handbook will be of relevance to researchers and professionals, from a range of sectors, disciplines and regions. The engaging style of the chapters, make complex concepts accessible to those with varied levels of expertise in transitions research and practice"-- Springer Nature Link
