About

Students in military families change schools between six and nine times by the time they graduate from high school, according to the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA.) Frequent moves and other military-life events, such as deployments, create additional challenges for these students.

However, the right tools and strategies can make all the difference. Seasons of My Military Student: Practical Ideas for Parents and Teachers is designed to inform and inspire parents and teachers, helping them:

>Understand the Seasons of TransitionTM and the storms of military life that impact a student’s education

>Employ key provisions of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children

>Create an effective portable Seasons Education Binder

>Work together as a team to support a student from grade to grade and school to school
