From my experience, I think this could be the result of teaching the material at too superficial a level. Been there, done that. If we teach connections between ideas and their consequences, and delve deeper into the underlying principles of what ...

- What is your connection to high school freshmen?
- I used to teach 9th graders, but now I am responsible for 130+ 10th graders who I hope will pass the state standardized test on their first try. For me, it is critically important that freshman learning creates a foundation that sophomores can build on.

- Thanks for joining the Freshman Transition Network. The network is, and always will be, a "work in progress". Your input and ideas will play a big role in making this a useful and interactive site. Please let me know if you have ideas.
Be sure to read the "Read 1st" tab. I think that will give you a good idea of how to maximize this new network.
Also, please go to the forum page and click on the Introductions forum. Take a moment to introduce yourself to the rest of the users
Check out the "Your School" tab. This gives people a chance to leave information about and a link to their school's Freshman Transition Program. This can help schools connect with one another.
Check out the "Groups" tab. I would recommend making a group for your school. Then you can invite other teachers/educators from your school to join the network and your group. Your group can then become a "community forum" for teachers from your school.
Consider "friending" the other members of the community. That will make sure that the community truly is a community. You do this by going to someone's page and clicking Add as Friend, which is beneath their profile picture. By friending others you will then be able to send out messages, ask questions, and share thoughts more easily with those individuals.
Most importantly, though, your input, ideas, blogs, comments, and questions will benefit all the other members. Feel free to become a regular blogger or poster. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks again for joining!
