Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting papers for a special issue of “Designing culturally responsive and inclusive education strategies to support children, youth, and adults in transition.” It aims to identify and promote effective strategies that are evidence-based and actively engaging important stakeholders at the community and regional levels. The special issue welcomes innovative school and community policy and practice strategies that support transitions through the lifespan. Possible topics in policies include VET/CTE, ILP/personalized learning, employer engagement, and WIOA/IDEA. Possible areas of transition include elementary to middle school, middle to high school, high school to postsecondary education, high school/postsecondary education to the world of work, early to middle, and middle to late career.
We experience numerous transitions throughout the lifespan. Without access to adequate support and resources, these transitions can result in exiting education and training programs, unemployment, and mental as well as physical health challenges. This Special Issue provides space for innovative interventions and studies that offer ways to effectively prepare and support the access of youth and adults to occupations being shaped by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We are especially interested in community-based collaboration interventions and research efforts that are shaped, in part, by the individuals being served.
