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.
