Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine elementary and middle school administrators' and teachers' perceptions of the WEB elementary to middle school transition program as well as a comparison of the transition perceptions between both levels. Twelve elementary and middle school administrators and 185 elementary and middle school teachers participated in the survey portion of the study. A total of 16 elementary and middle school administrators and teachers participated in the interview portion of the study to further explore their perceptions of the WEB transition program. The results of this study concluded that administrators and teachers believed the collaboration between the elementary and middle school is vital for the successful transition of students from the elementary to the middle school. Data indicated that the WEB transition program was successful in reducing the transition anxieties of students as they entered the middle school. Though the WEB transition program is facilitated at the middle school level, the elementary administrators and teachers wanted more information about WEB in order to assist with the transition of the elementary students to the middle school.

Book excerpt: This qualitative case study was designed to discover fifth and sixth grade teachers' and administrators' perceptions related to the middle school transition process relative to the academic, social, and organizational needs of students in a large, suburban school district in Pennsylvania. The participants were teachers of the core academic areas, encore subject teachers, counselors, and administrators at both the elementary and middle school levels. This research examined the results based upon the responses of 48 fifth grade teachers from ten elementary schools, 62 sixth grade teachers from two middle schools, and nine administrators from both elementary and middle schools who completed an online instrument - Perceptions of Transition Survey (POTS). The teacher and administrator POTS survey contained phrases that measured the extent to which they believe students will look forward to, may be worried about, and open-ended questions designed to obtain further teacher and administrator insight regarding the transition to middle school. Results of the study indicated all three groups (5th grade teachers, 6th grade teachers, and administrators) identified student social and academic issues as the defining characteristics of middle school transition. Identifying the consistent and inconsistent messages of school staff members across elementary and middle school buildings may guide future research as school districts strive to provide students with a successful foundation form middle school transitions.

Download or read book Teachers' and Administrators' Perceptions about Middle School Transition written by Christie Egan Snead and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine elementary and middle school teacher and administrator perceptions of variables that impact student transition from elementary school to middle school and to examine elementary and middle school teacher perspectives of student emotional readiness for middle school. A total of 30 educational professional staff, 26 teachers and four administrators, from two semi-rural public school districts in southeastern Pennsylvania completed surveys containing Likert scale questions. Two teachers and two administrators participated in the interview portion of the study to further explore their perceptions about student transition into middle school. The results of this study affirmed the importance of a cohesive transition program for students. The findings of this research identified a majority consistency of 70% between the perspectives of teachers and the perspectives of administrators regarding variables that impact student transition to middle school. Teachers were evenly divided on whether their students were academically prepared for middle school, although, the majority of teachers did not feel their students were behaviorally ready for middle school. Findings identified significant gaps in current transition activities. Response data supported transition activities were void of current crucial social issues facing today's youth. These findings can guide future research for school districts to create comprehensive transition plans to ensure students are given the greatest opportunity for success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitions (e.g., leaving home for pre-school or kindergarten and moving from elementary to middle school, middle school to high school and high school to post-school opportunities) are part of the school experiences of all students. Recently, efforts to support transitions have become part of effective schooling practices. This research study was designed to investigate the extent to which transition practices and transition activities differed in schools of varying achievement levels. A survey was conducted at nine middle schools located in the surrounding suburban areas of Charlotte, North Carolina. Data were collected from sixth grade teachers, counselors, and administrators at three different schools representing three different achievement categories (i.e., high, expected, and low growth) as determined by the North Carolina ABC accountability program. Similarities and differences were analyzed for critical elements necessary for effective transition practices in four areas: communication, cooperation, consensus, and commitment. Additional comparisons were completed for transition activities provided at the schools. No significant differences were found in transition practices across achievement categories. High and expected growth schools were more likely to host a field trip of fifth graders in the spring than low growth schools. Implications are discussed for improving elementary to middle school transition programs.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this action research-based study was to identify first- year middle school students’ perceptions of the influences of a teacher advisory (TA) program on their transition concerns and connectedness with a teacher before and after their first nine weeks in the middle school. The transition from elementary school to middle school can be difficult for students due to the structural and cultural changes in the middle school organization and the adolescent development that occurs. The use of an advisory group led by a teacher to assist in this transition and connectedness is a program that was the subject of this study. Student perceptions were obtained from quantitative results from a pre-and post-survey and then followed up with qualitative findings from focus group protocol to explore the quantitative results in more depth.The main research question explored was: What are advisory-based students’ perceptions of transition and connectedness in their first-year of middle school? Supporting questions were: To what extent do perceptions of transition concerns and connectedness with a teacher change before and after students enter the middle school? What, if any, gender, age, ethnicity, and feeder school attendance demographic differences exist in these perceptions? What, if any, differences exist between advisory and non-advisory students’ perceptions on their transition concerns and connectedness? The conclusions from the quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed that at the end of nine weeks in the middle school: 1) Transition concerns decreased for both advisory and non-advisory students; 2) Connectedness with a teacher decreased for both advisory and non-advisory students with a higher connectedness for advisory students than non-advisory students; 3) Advisory students expressed a more positive view of advisory teachers than non-advisory students expressed of homeroom teachers; 4) Advisory students overall had a positive perception of the TA program and the TA teacher despite a decrease in connectedness. Implications and recommendations for education personnel are provided.

Book Synopsis Principals' Perceptions of Elementary to Middle Transition Practices in Iowa Middle Level Schools by : Amanda J. Lemanczyk Ross
Download or read book Principals' Perceptions of Elementary to Middle Transition Practices in Iowa Middle Level Schools written by Amanda J. Lemanczyk Ross and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent transition practices are used in identified Iowa public middle level schools, and why schools using those practices have selected them. This investigation used a mixed methodological approach, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods. The signature middle school practices of interdisciplinary teaming, advisor/advisee programming, and exploratory programming were examined by the use of transition practices used to acclimate parents and students coming from the elementary to the new middle level school. Additionally, the number of transition practices implemented for students and for parents was examined by (a) enrollment size of grade entering the middle level school, (b) the number of feeder schools, (c) the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunches, and (d) having multiple middle level schools in the district. A sample of 118 Iowa public middle level principals who met predetermined criteria were asked to complete a Transition Practices Inventory to determine what, if any, transition practices were used in their schools as well as their levels of use. Of the 118 principals, 72 responded. Significant findings included: (a) schools that most fully implemented the three signature middle school practices had higher levels of implementation of both parent and student transition practices, (b) higher levels of implementation of parent practices were reported by middle level schools in districts with multiple middle level schools, (c) schools with higher student enrollment at the entering grade employed higher levels of implementation of parent practices, and (d) middle level schools with multiple elementary feeder schools reflected higher levels of implementation of both student and parent transition practices. Analysis of responses to the transition practices instrument identified four middle level schools in which the principals reported using a high number of transition practices. These principals participated in qualitative interviews to further analyze their use of transition practices. Findings from the qualitative interviews included high levels of communication between the elementary and middle level schools, consistency in spring orientation visits, but wide variances in other types of transition activities, and little use of data to inform transition practices.
