This book showcases the quality work that Latin American researchers have done on transition to school in Latin American countries by offering the English-speaking world, first-hand access to some Latin American transitions research, practices, and policies. This book shows the work carried out in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Mexico with regards to the way in which the transition to primary school is experienced from different stakeholders' perspectives, and how Latin American educational policies and cultural practices shape such an important process for stakeholders. This book was importantly framed by the COVID-19 pandemic which placed the world in a global health emergency, and it is our hope that this book will trigger future international collaborations between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners interested in transitions which could help produce a wealth of empirical evidence to inform educational policies and transitions practices across the world. Building networks where diverse experiences are valued and respected, as well as analysed, can help provide a platform that supports educators and researchers as they continue their work and branch out in new and challenging directions.
Emeritus Professor Bob Perry is an experienced researcher with over 45 years of work in mathematics education and educational transitions, with particular emphasis in both on early childhood, education of Indigenous children, social justice and community capacity building. He is Emeritus Professor at Charles Sturt University, Australia
Sue Dockett is Emeritus Professor of Early Childhood Education and Director of Peridot Education Pty Ltd., having recently retired from Charles Sturt University, Albury, Australia. Over more than 30 years, she has been actively involved in early childhood education as a teacher, academic and researcher. Much of Sue's current research agenda is focused on educational transitions; in particular, transitions to school and the expectations, experiences and perceptions of all involved. This research has been published widely, and has had substantial impact on policy, practice and research. Complementing her research around educational transitions is research that incorporates children's perspectives, engages with families in diverse contexts, reflects upon the practices of educators, and explores the importance of working with communities.
Professor Divya Jindal-Snape is Chair of Education, Inclusion and Life Transitions in the School of Education and Social Work. She gained her undergraduate and masters qualifications in India. She taught in an all-through school and lectured in Education for a few years before moving to Japan to do a PhD at the University of Tsukuba. After living in Japan for nearly five and a half years, enjoying research and teaching, she moved to Dundee. She is now Director of the Transformative Change: Educational and Life Transitions (TCELT) Research Centre at Dundee University and her research interests lie in the field of inclusion, and educational and life transitions. A significant proportion of her work has been with children and young people with additional support needs, especially children and young people with visual impairment, autism, learning difficulties, emotional and behavioural needs, and complex life limiting conditions. Her research has led to creation of educational resources to enhance inclusion and facilitate transitions through drama (inspired by Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed), stories, games and other creative art forms.
Benilde García-Cabrero is Professor of Educational Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology at UNAM. She holds a M.A. in Educational Psychology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and a PhD., from UNAM and McGill University in Canada.

She has worked as a government advisor for the Mexican Ministry of Education and as a consultant and coordinator of a number of international projects for various organisations and institutions such as UNICEF, UNESCO, World Bank, OECD and CONAFE. Her current research interests are related to teaching and learning in basic education (K-12), civic and citizenship education, and the affective dimensions of teaching and its relationship to students' socioemotional skills, situational interest and academic engagement. She has published extensively in the form of scientific articles, national reports, international reports, books, and is a member of a range of professional national and international bodies. She is currently a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Educational and Life Transitions and of the Scientific Committee of the Revista Internacional de Educación Emocional y Bienestar (International Journal of Emotional and Wellbeing Education, RIEEB).
