Report cover: Preparing students

21 November 2011This literature review provides a comprehensive analysis of national and international research to assist with the development of an evidence-based model to better support students in Years 8-10 (13-16 years) as they progress through school and into work or further study. The literature review addresses two key questions:

• What are the essential skills, capacities, relationships and attributes that Year 8-10 students require in the family/home, community and secondary school settings that prepare students for the transition into further education/work?

• What are national and international examples of best practice initiatives that support and prepare students in Years 8 and 9?
