In this third edition of the ground-breaking, global classic, Ruth E. Van Reken and Michael V. Pollock, son of the late original co-author, David C. Pollock have significantly updated what is widely recognized as The TCK Bible. Emphasis is on the modern TCK and addressing the impact of technology, cultural complexity, diversity & inclusion and transitions.

* New models for identity formation
* Updated explanation of unresolved grief
* New material on 'highly mobile communities' addressing the needs of people who stay put while a community around them moves rapidly

* Greater emphasis on tools for educators as they grapple with demographic shifts in the classroom
