Transitions from early childhood education to primary school: An interview with Sally Peters

Dr Sally Peters is a leading researcher in transitions from early childhood education to primary school. She recently co-edited a special issue of set’s sister journal, Early Childhood Folio, motivated by a “desire to enhance the transition experiences of young children moving between home, early childhood, and primary school settings”. We asked Sally about the special issue, current thinking on transitions, and where she’s headed next. She replied to our questions as she travelled to two international conferences and represented New Zealand in a five-country research consortium on transitions.
