Abstract | Increasing numbers of students change schools every year. Some, including the children of itinerant farm workers, change residences, schools and education systems on a regular basis. Whilst teachers and parents tend to regard student mobility as having a negative effect on students’ literacy achievements, research in the field of educational itinerancy has been surprisingly limited and offers inconclusive results. Additionally, guidelines that have been designed to assist schools manage the enrolment of mobile students have focused on the organisational practices of schooling, including year level placement and curricular and certification issues. This means that limited knowledge has been available about mobility and its relationship to literacy learning, and little pedagogical advice has been on offer for literacy teachers. |
