Educators from elementary schools near large military installations participated in focus groups and interviews and completed questionnaires regarding the knowledge, skills, and dispositions teachers perceive as being critical for supporting military students’ academic and social development.

Previous military family research has assumed a stable set of deployment phases. In line with critiques of such models within family communication, we identified the varied turning points and trajectories military spouses experience across deployment.
