Seasons of My Military Student: Practical Ideas for Parents and Teachers (Paperback or Softback)

“… an absolute must-have for the parents and teachers of mil-kids, and a comprehensive tool in helping our military students thrive throughout transition…”—Military Spouse magazine

“… outstandingly warm, perceptive, and practical suggestions for making transitions as rewarding as possible for our military kids…” —Military Spouse Book Review

Military-connected students move frequently, changing schools as many as nine times from preschool to high school graduation. With each move, they adjust to a different curriculum, meet new teachers and coaches, adapt to a new learning environment, and develop new friendships—all amid other military life challenges, such as a parent’s deployment.

Seasons of My Military Student helps parents and teachers:
-- Understand the Seasons of Transition(TM) and the storms of military life that impact a student’s education
-- Employ key provisions of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children
-- Create an effective portable Seasons Education Binder
-- Work together as a team to support a student from grade to grade and school to school
