Student Transitions from Middle to High School

This book is written for school administrators and teachers who want the move into ninth grade to go well. It sets out strategies for reducing dropout rates, raising student achievement and creating a safe environment for students in their first year of high school.

The author describes transition programmes in schools across the United States and gives practical guidelines that schools can adapt. The approach draws on research as well as practice, so the recommendations rest on evidence rather than on guesswork.

School leaders, classroom teachers and counsellors who plan the change from middle to high school will find it most relevant. It is a planning book, meant to be used alongside a school's own data.
