    Project Transition

Testing an Intervention to Help High School Freshmen Succeed
1999. Janet C. Quint, Cynthia Miller, Jennifer J. Pastor, Rachel E. Cytron.

Project Transition combines strategies that are becoming more common in K-12 settings across the nation: student-teacher clusters, extra time for teachers to work together, and a teacher "coach" meant to support instructional change. When implemented as a package, such an intervention tries to respond to two issues. First, can school be changed in ways that make students and teachers feel less anonymous and more engaged? Second, can this translate into improved student performance? The report finds that Project Transition succeeded in creating a more supportive atmosphere for both students and teachers.
