This report summarizes the findings of the Junior High School Transition Study. Section 1 describes the data base used in all three phases of the study.

Section 5, "Students' Conceptions of Teachers and Classroom Experience," includes teacher descriptions, profiles of teacher types, and implications for improving instruction.
