Froebel Trust study of transitions

Dr Autumn Roesch-Marsh and Dr Fiona Morrison will be working with the Multi-Cultural Family Base in Edinburgh on an exciting new piece of research funded by the Froebel Trust (http://www.froebel.org.uk/).  The study will used mixed methods, including ethnography and interviews, to:

• Develop understanding of the transition needs of children from migrant and BME communities
• Identify what theories and practice methods are being used in transition work with these children and to what extent these incorporate Freobelian principles
• Identify which of these practice methods are seen by children, their families, early years workers and primarily school teachers to be most effective
