This book offers a thorough, up-to-date review of the literature on school adjustment, covering key processes involved in major educational transitions-from elementary (1st grade) to secondary (junior high) and high school. Adopting a preventive approach, it provides real-world examples of interventions aimed at promoting successful school adjustment, that would later lead to students' academic and personal flourishing. The book also discusses significant challenges that researchers, practitioners, and parents need to address. Readers will gain both a deeper theoretical understanding of the importance and process of school adjustment and practical guidance on how to foster it in diverse, real-life contexts. Perfect for educators, psychologists, and caregivers, this resource blends research with actionable insights to support student success.

Reviews for School Adjustment: Why Some Students Fade and Others Flourish

'A school is a vibrant and complex system where academic expectations, personal drive, needs, and ambitions meet within a social milieu, and where adjustment to such a context is more than a matter of just 'doing OK.' This volume goes beyond the surface of student adjustment to explore what it means for children and adolescents to flourish within the school environment. By exploring transitions and challenges, each chapter provides insight into how successful school adjustment fosters academic growth and wellbeing. With a practical and applied eye, this book offers rich perspectives that show a school environment can be a place that nurtures resilience and joy, laying the foundation for a lifelong capacity to thrive.' Kelly-Ann Allen, Associate Professor, Monash University
