Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What steps can be taken to assure that 8th graders make a successful transition to 9th grade? More students fail ninth grade than any other grade level. When middle school students took part in high school transition programs with a variety of different articulation activities, fewer students were retained in ninth grade. Ideally, these transition programs include activities that provide students and parents with current information about the new school, provide students with social support and opportunities for peer interaction during the transition, provide opportunities for parent involvement and bring middle school and high school personnel together to learn about one another's curriculum, special programs, requirements and expectations. School leaders can ease students' transition into high school by implementing transition programs that address the needs of students and their parents and that facilitate communication between middle school and high school teachers and support staff. Effective high school transition programs address the following key areas: (1) Providing parents and students with information about the new school; (2) Provide opportunities for peer interaction and social support; (3) Provide opportunities for parent involvement; (4) Provide opportunities for communication between middle and high school teachers and support staff; and (5) Provide academic support for incoming ninth graders.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has indicated that ninth grade is a crucial year. Students experience a variety of changes upon entering high school, both developmentally and within their new contextual environment. When students are underprepared for the changes they encounter, the likelihood of dropping out of school is heightened. Transition programs have been shown to provide an effective solution to creating a responsive environment for the unique needs of first year high school students. Ensuring a smooth transition is particularly important for urban students in order to close the achievement gap between their higher socioeconomic status counterparts. This project reviews the participants, typical concerns of first year high school students, and the activities that have been proven to help foster a successful transition to high school. In addition, this project will compile the research explored to provide a comprehensive transition program that school counselors can implement at their school.

Book excerpt: National, state and local graduation and dropout rates have remained constant over recent years. While the reasons students dropout are complex, research is indicating that the transition from eight to ninth grade as the most crucial indicator of a students’ success. Further analysis has shown that transition programs may greatly benefit all students, and in particular, at-risk students effectively prepare for this crucial transition in to high school. Although the programs vary from one school district to the next, they all utilize collaborative teams of administrators, teachers and others that do everything to fully prepare students academically, teach personal management skills and help adjust to the social changes of high school which clearly illustrates the importance of students’ success. The project reviews the needs of ninth grade students, transition programs that have been or are currently being used by other school districts, and finally, provides school districts a manual to help guide the improvement or implementation of a transition program unique to their needs.

Download or read book Evaluation of a Ninth Grade Transition Program For At Risk Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have identified the transition from middle to high school as a critical point in teenagersâ educational development. Despite sweeping educational reforms, many students are leaving high school without graduating. Local school districts are struggling to redesign high schools to provide the educational programs necessary for at-risk studentsâ success. Creating smaller learning communities and developing transition programs have shown success in addressing these problems. Sustained research shows promise in minimizing the effects of the transition process and adds to the body of knowledge. A case study approach using archival data was used to explore the differences in three Bearcat âPRIDEâ treatment groups and their 8th (pre-treatment) and 9th (post-treatment) grade measures. Results of this study suggested students who participated in the Bearcat âPRIDEâ program showed greater success in academic performance, reduced disciplinary actions, increased school attendance, and participation in extra-curricular activities of their 8th (pre-treatment) and 9th (post-treatment) grade measures.

Download or read book Preparing incoming freshmen for the academic and social changes of high school written by Hillary M Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has revealed important information about the importance of an effective transition program for eight grade students transitioning into high school. The increased rigor of high school courses, procedural struggles of a new environment, and increased social challenges often lead students to perform lower academically, turn to self-medication as a way to cope, and even drop out as a final result, when not given an effective transition into the high school. This project explores the components that are critical to a successful transition program. An effective transition program must begin to address students during the eighth grade year and continue into the ninth grade year. The components of this project have been identified by research as being an effective method of transition for students. The elements of this project are to be used as tools to execute a transition program that begins in eighth grade to address the academic challenges of high school, continues prior to the beginning of high school to address procedural and social challenges, and concludes during ninth grade to continue to support students with new academic challenges. If students feel completely supported during the transition from middle school to high school, students will be more successful in ninth grade and successive years of education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As American students progress through the educational system, they encounter various key points of transition as they change from one school to another because they have completed the grades offered in a certain school. The transition from middle school to high school may include moments of significant social and academic achievement for students; however, that is not always the case. Without necessary support students may deviate away from the intended progression and be at risk of significant academic and social struggles. Students are not always equipped with the appropriate skills and resources that might otherwise ensure a successful transition. School educators have a moral and ethical responsibility to recognize problem areas with periods of transition and develop and implement programs to guarantee every student has the opportunity to succeed. This project proposes a comprehensive transition program for incoming ninth grade students designed by the school counselor. The program includes a Welcome Day-First year student orientation, peer transition program, peer tutoring, and First-Year Student Fridays to provide students with the resources, skills, and knowledge to help them have a successful first year in high school.
