Sumario:This empirical study examines a topic of great relevance to education researchers, policymakers and practitioners worldwide: school transitions. Specifically, it focuses on the role and impact of transition teachers in Scotland, staff employed solely to support a young person's transition from primary to secondary school. To provide clarity for readers from diverse local, national or international contexts, the study defines its objectives, research questions, design and methodology. Furthermore, it delineates analytical categories related to the findings, linking them to a wider discussion about the opportunities and challenges associated with this transition teacher role. These findings will be of use to educational organisations across the globe who are seeking to improve transition support practice.
