This book was released on 2018 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed methods case study examined the effectiveness of a set of ninth grade intervention programs on improving the academic performance of the ninth graders in a single urban high school in Connecticut. The interventions focused on the academic performance of ninth graders, since those who pass all of their courses in their first year have a greater chance of graduating within four years. School improvement/accountability plans include targets for four-year graduation rates as a measurement for this high school. The literature review is categorized into four areas - significance of ninth grade success; peer mentor programs; Response to Intervention (RTI) policies known as Scientific Research Based Interventions (SRBI); and chronic absenteeism. Quantitative data sources included ninth graders who failed one class or more and the number of days absent from school. Within the population of failing ninth graders those who received SRBI interventions, participated in team study halls and/or participated in attendance meetings were also examined. Additional data included surveys and interviews completed by ninth graders, senior peer mentors, and teachers involved with the interventions or who served as club advisors or coaches. The interventions were intended to: (a) reduce the number of failures; (b) to improve attendance; (c) to improve the students' ability to graduate within four years; and (d) to provide ways for ninth graders to feel connected to their high school. The results showed decreases in course failures and an increase in four-year graduation rates. From 2013 to 2017, the percentage of failing freshmen remaining on-track to a four-year graduation rate increased from 0% to 64%. The school-wide interventions, such as the peer mentor program, helped ninth graders to build positive connections with their senior mentors and increased involvement in school activities. Based upon feedback from both the ninth graders and their teachers, the high school experience course was successful in helping students to build individualized career plans. All of the interventions provided opportunities for ninth graders to make important connections and these connections helped the ninth graders to have an easier transition to high school.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed-methods study is to evaluate the impact of Morrison High School’s ninth grade transition program, the Freshman Academy, on student outcomes. Based on the outcomes, decisions will be made to determine if the Freshman Academy is meeting students’ needs or if the program elements need to be revisited to improve student achievement. Participants included teachers, school counselors, and administrators at Morrison High School in southeastern Virginia. The study employed the product component of the CIPP model of program evaluation to guide the data collection and to determine the merit, worth, and significance of the program. Quantitative data were collected using student outcome data based on GPA, attendance rates, number of discipline referrals, pass rates on Virginia Standards of Learning End of Course tests, and credits earned. Qualitative data were collected based on teacher, school counselor, and administrator interviews. Successes and challenges of the program as well as areas of recommended improvement are detailed in this study. Analysis of student outcome data revealed that students participating in the program are consistently meeting the benchmark intended outcomes for attendance, discipline, and credits earned and most students are passing the Algebra I and World Geography SOLs during the last year included in this study. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the program elements can only assist teams in providing stronger transition programs to help students achieve the intended outcomes. Recommendations for future research and program improvement include collaboration between the Freshman Academy teachers and administrators with the eighth grade teachers and administrators at the feeder middle schools, developing a summer bridge program to target at-risk students, and increasing parental involvement and seeking their feedback on the Freshman Academy.

Book excerpt: To provide greater support for students as they transition to ninth grade, the Texas Legislature funded the Texas Ninth Grade Transition and Intervention (TNGTI) grant program. TNGTI grantees implemented a variety of supports to at-risk students transitioning to ninth grade, including a summer transition program, an early warning data system, and research-based interventions targeted to meet student needs. The study examined the effectiveness of the supports schools provide under the TNGTI grant program. Specifically, the study compared the performance of students who participated in the TNGTI summer transition program to similar students who did not participate using a propensity score stratification approach. Students' ninth grade attendance and performance on math and reading Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skill (TAKS) assessments were the outcomes of interest. In addition, the authors examined the theory that the TNGTI program would improve student academic performance by increasing their ninth grade attendance by examining whether ninth grade attendance was a mediator for academic achievement.

Book excerpt: This study examined the design, implementation, and assessment of a ninth grade orientation program aimed at improving academic success and organizational commitment by cultivating a high sense of engagement among incoming students at a large suburban high school. Research questions pertained to the impact of a middle school orientation program on ninth grade students' engagement in, what freshman students perceive as the most effective components of the program, and what an action research team learned in their collaboration to develop the program. Through focus group interviews, surveys, and examination of student achievement data, this study employed action research to examine student transition within the organization. Findings indicate that (a) transition program participants became involved in multiple extra-curricular opportunities, (b) student participants most valued peer insight and experiential learning, and (c) team members learned and grew through their participation in the project. Future research should consider (a) using action research for professional learning within district, (b) opportunities for employing student leaders to co-design and implement transition activities, (c) different transition approaches within vertical clusters, and (d) longitudinal studies for ongoing transition program action research.

Book Synopsis Interventions for Ninth-grade Middle-achieving Students by : Bradley C. Cook

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implementing intentionally designed interventions to improve students’ academic performance has been a focus of educational stakeholders for decades. However, the implementation of academic interventions for average-achieving students, particularly during their freshman year of high school, appears to be lacking. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to explore designed interventions implemented by high school administrators from two unified school districts in California that focused on the academic performance of middle-achieving students during their ninth-grade year. This qualitative grounded theory study focused on the perspective of a purposive sampling group of high school administrators, which included principals, assistant principals, and counselors. Seventeen administrators participated in a 5-point Likert scale survey that required them to answer 10 questions focused on the importance and use of interventions to improve the academic performance of ninth-grade average achieving students on their campus. The sample field was narrowed to six administrators who provided deeper insight regarding interventions used on their campus for forgotten middle students. Traditional coding methods such as the use of paper, pen, and labels combined with the digital technology of MAXQDA allowed for a thorough analysis of all qualitative data. Key findings from the research study indicated that it is important to implement interventions for average-achieving students early during their freshman year since motivation is critical to keeping students engaged and establishing a foundation for future success. Also, student-faculty relationships were recognized as an imperative to the success of interventions on a school campus. Administrators acknowledged the important role that the home environment serves toward the success of implementing interventions for average-achieving students. Finally, results revealed that most administrators who participated in the study confirmed average achieving students are often vi overlooked regarding needed supports to improve their academic achievement. Future studies should focus on educator awareness, stakeholder roles, the effectiveness of implemented interventions on average achieving ninth-grade student performance, and the influence of interventions on a high school campus culture.
