school transitions, impact, intervention, and policy  

Definition

  • Transitions in life represent a time of potential transformation in self-definition and interpersonal relationships, which may, for better or worse, have a long-term impact on academic performance, mental health, and future life opportunities. Transitions often represent turning points where either dramatic growth or destructive patterns of growth and development ensue (Ruble & Seidman, 1996).
