Cohlhepp, Christina F.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh
The purpose of this study is to explore student perceptions regarding the transition from elementary school to middle school and to provide an opportunity for student voice to be included in the develop of an improved, data-informed, comprehensive transition program designed to assist all students as they move through this transition. Secondary analysis of an existing data set (responses from the "Franklin Area School District Transition Survey") will be conducted to develop an understanding of the concerns that existing students have regarding the transition to middle school. Themes that emerge from this analysis will inform further discussions with 7th and 8th grade students regarding the difficulties that they experience throughout the transition. This "student voice" will be interwoven into a plan for improving the transition programming that is offered by the Franklin Area School District.
