Book excerpt: Research has revealed important information about how to create a smoother, more successful transition for students from middle school to high school, yet many schools still have not implemented programs to help students during this important time. This project explores the recent history of other transition programs and previous data collected on this topic that have been shown to be successful for students during their first year in high school. An effective school transition program must acknowledge the specific needs from students in eighth and ninth grade, which include understanding a new building, more responsibility to complete schoolwork independently, and the different teaching methods of high school teachers. This transitional program addresses the needs of students moving from middle school to high school as well as improves student-counselor relationships early on. Additionally, a pre-post test will be administered to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and allow school counselors to adjust the program as needed. This program hopes to increase academic achievement, especially for students during the first year of high school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This graduate project presents a handbook derived from reviewing literature that students, parents and school counselors can use to ease the transition for middle school Latino students into high school. This handbook or guide describes the social, emotional and academic challenges that research has shown to affect Latino students, and provides a culturally relevant preparation program. This handbook can be implemented step by step in the final year of middle school, with school counselor and parent involvement, and will continue into the first few years of high school. Along with transitioning issues such as self-esteem, making and keeping friends (Akos & Galassi, 2004), setting goals, successfully completing courses, and college and career planning, research shows that Latino students have issues of family obligations and expectations particular to them (McGoldrick, Giordano, & Garcia-Preto, 2005). Latino cultural concerns, language barriers and socio-economic factors facing Latino students, and affecting their successful transition from middle school to high school are also included in this handbook. It also provides interventions that are school-based as well as techniques that parents can use at home to support and encourage the successful transition of their child into high school. The variety of strategies included in this handbook consider Bandura's (1989) theory suggesting that behaviors are learned through observing and imitating models, and Vygotsky's (1978) theory that stresses the active engagement of the social and physical environments in promoting cognitive growth. The methods described in this handbook involve the use of peer social support groups, parental support, school counselor academic guidance, and career exploration resources. Further, strategies to facilitate the development of a road map are included, which are intended to support a healthy self-image as well as academic success. Student achievement is promoted and encouraged throughout this handbook with guidelines aimed at assisting students in setting realistic goals and articulating a sound plan to achieve them. Within the steps outlined in the handbook, there is opportunity for periodic student and parent checkpoints where students and parents can reflect on the effectiveness of each step after the completion of each step and prior to advancing to the next step. School counselors at the middle school and high school levels can utilize these student and parent reflections to mentor the student while assisting students to plan an appropriate path aimed at easing the transition from middle school to high school and ultimately leading to success in high school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Sponsored by the Middle Level Education Research SIG and the National Middle School Association) The Young Adolescent and the Middle School focuses on issues related to the nature of young adolescence and the intersection of young adolescence with middle level schooling. This volume of the Handbook of Research in Middle Level Education marks the sixth installment in the series. The Handbook series, begun in 2001 by Vince Anfara, the series editor, has addressed varying thematic issues important to middle level education research. This volume, The Young Adolescent and the Middle School, focuses on the unique developmental needs of young adolescents and the role of the middle school in attending to these needs. The contributing authors in this volume address one of three developmental areas critical to young adolescents—physical development, intellectual/cognitive development, or social and personal development—and how these developmental characteristics affect the educational environment and the organization of middle schools.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of readings presents 33 articles that address topics of importance to counselors who serve middle school students. It was written for counselors already working in middle schools and for individuals who are preparing for careers as middle school counselors. The book will also benefit both elementary school counselors who help children make the transition from elementary to middle school and high school counselors who work with adolescents making the transition from middle school into high school. It deals with how counselors in middle schools can help early adolescents face the challenges of adolescence, noting that middle school counseling programs should focus on preparing students for the increased independence of high school life that is typically accompanied by more social pressures and increased stress. The chapters in this book offer many ideas for helping young people improve their sense of self, their decision-making capabilities, their interpersonal relationships, their academic skills, and their abilities to deal with stress. Chapters contain articles that have been invited for the book in addition to articles that have been published in various counseling journals. Each chapter contains an introduction by the editors and a collection of articles on a particular topic. Individual chapters focus on: (1) self-discovery; (2) family relationships; (3) peer pressure and drug abuse; (4) stress and suicide; (5) sexual maturation; (6) academic achievement; (7) career exploration; and (8) organizing a middle school counseling program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School transition is a life changing event for children - they are rarely faced with such a powerful set of personal and social changes. These underpin the immediate and longer term wellbeing of children, peer groups, teachers and schools. Understanding School Transition provides a most comprehensive, international review of this important area, complete with practical advice on what practitioners can do to support children’s wellbeing, motivation and achievement. Offering an accessible introduction to children’s psychology at transition, Understanding School Transition explores transition as a status passage, what we really mean by wellbeing, and the ways in which children adapt to new environments. Key chapters focus on: Understanding stress and anxiety Children’s hopes, fears and myths at transition Parents’ and teachers’ influence and role Children’s relationships with peers as they change schools Children’s personal and collective identities Motivation, engagement and achievement Supporting the most vulnerable children Crucially, it advises how you can help children through implementing transition interventions and evaluating their success in your own school. Illustrated by case studies of experiences in real schools, Understanding School Transition will be essential reading for all training and practising teachers, as well as transition and subject specialists, who want to better understand and influence what happens to children at this critical stage.

The transition to middle school is often fraught with emotional, social, and academic challenges for students. Often, teachers don't have the proper resources to identify students for whom this transition is becoming a problem. In this book, Ann Vander Stoep and Kelly Thompson provide teachers, counselors, and administrators with a complete package for implementing the "Emotional Health Checkup": a program designed to identify and help middle school students who are in need of additional emotional support.

They will then learn how to decide if the Emotional Health Checkup is a good fit for their school and how to get the school on board to implement the program. The book is an A-to-Z guide on how to implement the Emotional Health Checkup once the need and commitment have been confirmed. Information includes: how to engage parents and guardians in the process, carry out the logistics of classroom screening day, and develop individualized student support plans. Complete orientation and training manuals are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the research say about effective transition systems between the middle grades and high school? The most successful schools see the transition between the middle grades and high school as a process, not an event. These schools involve teachers, students and families in continuous planning to support students' academic and social success in high school and beyond. Students that have a successful transition are more likely to achieve in the 9th grade, to attend regularly and to not drop out of school. They are more likely to develop and sustain positive social relationships with peers and with adults. Four components of effective transition systems have been identified. They include providing students and families accurate and useful information, supporting students' social success in high school, preparing students for academic success in high school, and working collaboratively to monitor transition plans and adjust those plans based on data about student success (attendance, achievement, dropout rate). A list of resources is included.

This project created a six week group for girls that implemented techniques from solution focused therapy and psychodrama theory. The stressors during the transition into middle school and peer relationships are addressed through existing research. A review of literature addresses the stressors students face in the transition, peer relationships, and development of students at this time. The Girls Group allows for students to practice healthy response in relationships, coping strategies for conflicts, initiating in friendships, and other relevant topics around friendships. The goal of this group is for the girls to create an understanding of what healthy relationships look like and how to create those relationships."--Abstract, p. 1.
