failure, discipline problems, and truancy. Defined as the "make it

have compiled a guidebook centered around a teaming approach that
empowers teachers to better meet freshmen needs. Based on concepts
behind their popular Freshman Transition workshops, the authors
share ideas about why and how teaming teachers works and how it can
benefit schools. Road maps provide guidance for teachers to learn
specifically how to create a program built around key elements such
as: Standardized expectations Learning skills Classroom leadership
