Abstract	Although transitioning from school to school can be challenging at any level, the transition to high school may be particularly fraught with challenge because students are experiencing a change in schools as well as the physical, emotional, and psychological changes inherent to adolescence. Educators and researchers agree that ninth grade is a pivotal year for students. It is typically the year that marks the transition into high school and plays a crucial role in setting the stage for future educational outcomes. Success or failure during the freshman year of high school is directly linked to the probability that a student will drop out before graduation (Legters, 2005). Neild, Stoner-Eby, and Furstenberg (2001) demonstrated that student outcomes in the ninth grade contribute substantially to the researchers ability to predict whether or not a student would drop out of high school, over and above student background variables such as family and peer relationships. Appended are: (1) CHANGES Teacher Implementation Log; (2) CHANGES Counselor Implementation Log; (3) Parental Consent Information and Form; (4) Interview Protocol for Faculty Interviews; (5) Administration Instructions for Student Instruments; (6) Student Assent Information; and (7) Evaluation Standards Checklist. (Contains 32 tables and 1 figure.) [This document was produced by the Appalachia Educational Laboratory at Edvantia, formerly the Appalachian Educational Laboratory (AEL, Inc.).] (ERIC).
