The Model contains a description of working steps that will help a pupil who returns to the home education system or comes there for the first time after having attended school in another country. It covers all the stages from making the decision of moving abroad to the first few months of transitioning to a new school. The addressees of the model are principles, school personnel, teachers, tutors, psychologists.

The Model is the original work of the authors and is largely based on hands-on experience, best practises applied in education, as well as theoretical background presented in the first chapter. The Model presents all the stages, which should ideally be looked at in the adaptation process of a new pupil. Nonetheless, if some of the stages cannot be implemented in the suggested sequences, or some of the roles and activities cannot be executed, it should be individually customised and adapted to each school reality.
