Administrator Perceptions of Transition Programs in International Secondary Schools
Bates, Jessica
Journal of Research in International Education, v12 n1 p85-102 Apr 2013
This study investigates the extent to which transition programs are offered to students at international secondary schools. Components of professional development, orientation and departure programs, and transition support teams were examined. Participants included school administrators at 11 international schools across five continents. Findings suggest that systematic transition interventions are underutilized to support Third Culture Kids, and suggest a lack of awareness among administrators about the issue of transitional problems associated with international mobility.
