Book Synopsis Effects of Summer School Transition Program and Grade Level on Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade Students' Grades, Attendance, and Behavior by : Katie Smith
Download or read book Effects of Summer School Transition Program and Grade Level on Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade Students' Grades, Attendance, and Behavior written by Katie Smith and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This causal-comparative study sought to identify the effects of attending a summer school transition program and students' grade levels (seventh v. eighth v. ninth) on students' grades (based on course failures), attendance (based on students' absences), and behavior (based on number of behavioral office referrals). The students who participated in this study were identified as at-risk during one of three educational transitions: from elementary school to middle school, between seventh and eighth grade in the middle school, and from middle school to high school. As part of their elementary school to middle school, intra-middle school, or middle school to high school transition program, students in the treatment group participated in a three-week summer program with academic classes in math, reading, and science, which their upcoming grade-level teacher taught. The goals of the summer transition program include familiarizing students with new academic structures and teacher expectations as well as previewing curriculum material for the upcoming school year. In order to compare the groups' data, the researcher used the chi-square analysis. While there was no change in students' grades or behavior related to participation in the summer transition program, statistically significant relationships did exist between grade level and attendance for eight and ninth grade students, as well as students who did not attend the summer school transition program. Grade level did not have a significant impact on the change in students' grades or behavior from one year to the next.

Book Synopsis A Causal Comparative Study of Ninth Grade Academy as an Answer to Unsuccessful Eighth Grade to Ninth Grade Transition by : Ursula Dionne Martin
Download or read book A Causal Comparative Study of Ninth Grade Academy as an Answer to Unsuccessful Eighth Grade to Ninth Grade Transition written by Ursula Dionne Martin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the traditional ninth-grade classroom or the ninth-grade academy would have the greatest impact on retention rates and discipline referrals to administration of students transitioning into high school. The data in this causal-comparative research was secondary data collected from the counselors and administrators of the four schools that participated in this research study. The data was evaluated using an independent samples t-test. The results of this study did not indicate the need for transition programs based on the predicted significant statistical difference in the retention rates and in the Group A and B offense discipline referrals to administration of students that were exposed to a ninth-grade academy vs. involvement in a traditional ninth-grade classroom. However, limitations for this study do reveal that there is still a need for further research. These results can assist school systems in finding ways to make sure appropriate decisions are made for the positive transition of ninth-grade students into high school. Additionally, this information can assist high school administrators in finding funding for the program and in building schedules that would support the implementation of ninth-grade academies. There was no statistically significant difference found, in this study, in the retention rate nor the Group A and Group B offense office discipline referral rates of ninth-grade students based on their exposure to a ninth-grade academy vs. a traditional ninth-grade program.

Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the Summer Transition Program in a large suburban school district. One of the common concerns of education leaders is the number of students who choose to dropout of high school. The eighth to ninth grade Summer Transition Program has been implemented to address the high school dropout issue and was the focus of this study. The researcher examined if participation in the Summer Transition Program could be predicted by student subgroup, to what extent, if any, participation in the Summer Transition Program had on the academic success in Algebra I, and if there is a relationship with academic success in Algebra I and at-risk factors.

Scott Habeeb, Ray Moore and Alan Seibert have over 60 years of combined experience as teachers and administrators, and together have compiled a guidebook centered around a teaming approach that empowers teachers to better meet freshmen needs. Based on concepts behind their popular Freshman Transition workshops, the authors share ideas about why and how teaming teachers works and how it can benefit schools. Road maps provide guidance for teachers to learn specifically how to create a program built around key elements such as: Standardized expectations Learning skills Classroom leadership Parent/teacher contact Educators everywhere will benefit from the practical advice, expert insight, and helpful tips that transform the ninth grade problem into The Ninth Grade Opportunity, ensuring a successful transition for every high school student.
Book Synopsis Helping Students Make the Transition Into High School by : Marie-Andrě Somers
Download or read book Helping Students Make the Transition Into High School written by Marie-Andrě Somers and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ninth Grade Academies (NGAs)--also called Freshman Academies--have attracted national attention as a particularly intensive and promising approach for supporting a successful transition for high school freshmen. An NGA is a self-contained learning community for ninth-graders that operates as a school within a school. NGAs have four core structural components: (1) a designated separate space within the high school, (2) a ninth-grade administrator who oversees the academy, (3) a faculty assigned to teach only ninth-grade students, and (4) teachers organized into interdisciplinary teams that have both students and a planning period in common. The theory of action behind NGAs is that when these components are employed together, they interact to create a more personalized learning environment where ninth-grade students feel less anonymous and more individually supported. This, in turn, should help students succeed in school and stay on track to high school graduation. NGAs have shown promising results when employed as part of a whole-school reform model, but in these cases schools have received external support from a developer to create and sustain them. A growing number of schools and districts have been experimenting with NGAs on their own, but the little research that exists on their effectiveness is limited to anecdotal accounts. This study, which is based on a quasi-experimental research design, examines the effect of NGAs on students' progress toward graduation, their academic achievement, and their behavior in several school districts in Florida. The sample for this study includes 27 high schools that created NGAs between 2001-2002 and 2006-2007, along with 16 comparison high schools that serve ninth-grade students with similar characteristics as students in the NGA schools. As context for understanding the impact findings, this study also looks at the extent to which the key features of the NGA model were implemented in the NGA schools in the study and how this differs from the structures and supports in the comparison schools. The key finding is that the NGAs in this study do not appear to have improved students' academic or behavioral outcomes (credit earning, state test scores, course marks, attendance, suspensions, or expulsions). The findings also suggest that it can be difficult for schools to fully implement the components of the NGA model without expert assistance: Three years after their creation, only half the NGAs in the study had all four structural components of the model in place. Nationally, school districts continue to create NGAs, and recent efforts to implement them have incorporated various enhancements that are intended to strengthen and improve their implementation, but little is known about their effectiveness. Because students' experience in ninth grade is an important predictor of their future success, these efforts to create and improve NGAs should be examined in future studies. Appended are: (1) Technical Information; and (2) Beyond the Sunshine State: Ninth Grade Academies in Other School Districts.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant disparity in accounting for the dropout reduction rates and their overall rate of growth among the population for Hispanic high school students. The purpose of the study was to examine the factors that impact the advancement or promotion of Hispanic ninth graders into 10th grade. In the district studied, this promotion was based on the number of credits earned. For the purpose of this study, successful 9th grade promotion was defined as whether or not the student advanced from 9th to 10th grade with their entering 9th grade cohort of students. This study examined Hispanic students from intermediate schools in grades six through eight that were drawn from a large, suburban school district in the Southwest region of the United States. The study sample included nine intermediate schools. Independent variables included the results of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (Lexile level - reading/language arts and Quantile level - mathematics), the attendance rates, and the Limited English Proficiency status of a student. A review of related literature provided background information regarding the issues surrounding changes in population demographics and high school freshmen dropouts. Achievement scores in eighth grade, their daily attendance in eighth grade, and their LEP status were the measured variables. This quantitative research utilized archival data to analyze the relationship between the independent variables (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills results, attendance rates, and the Limited English Proficiency status for a student) and student success as measured by credits earned towards the advancement from 9th to 10th grade. Data analysis considered each independent variable to determine if there was an influence on academic success. Implications and recommendations for future studies were discussed by the researcher.
Book Synopsis Teacher Perspectives of Student Readiness for Success in Ninth Grade by : Carrie Emma Thorpe
Download or read book Teacher Perspectives of Student Readiness for Success in Ninth Grade written by Carrie Emma Thorpe and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to discover if the perceptions of 8th and 9th grade core teachers concerning the impact of the 8th to 9th grade student transition align with actual student success in ninth grade. Nineteen core subject teachers participated, 7 eighth grade teachers, and 12 ninth grade teachers, from 2 school districts in southeastern Pennsylvania participated in the study. The researcher examined the responses of the 19 participants who completed an online survey and also interviewed one 8th grade teacher and two ninth grade teachers. Results of the study indicate that in the 2 participating school districts, both 8th and 9th grade teachers believe critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, communication, and strong study skills to be the most significant factors that contribute to academic and social success in ninth grade. It was also found that both 8th and 9th grade teachers believe it is important for 8th and 9th grade teachers to view the 8th to 9th grade transition in a similar manner. Open-ended responses revealed that 9th grade teachers believe their current transition practices to be inadequate and 8th grade teachers believe there is a lack of communication between the 8th and 9th grade teaching staff. Although most 8th and 9th grade teachers believed that 9th grade students lacked academic skills necessary for success, an analysis of 9th grade student academic performance data for the 2011-2012, 2012-2013 school years, as well as the first marking period of the 2013-2014 school year, indicate that student academic performance is very strong.
