Extending a Community of Care beyond the Ninth Grade: A Follow-Up Study
Ellerbrock, Cheryl R.; Kiefer, Sarah M.
Journal of Educational Research, v106 n4 p319-331 2013
This qualitative within-site case study ("N" = 10) is a follow-up study to a 2006-2007 investigation that analyzed how 1 high school created a community of care for its ninth-grade students through the implementation of a ninth-grade transition program--Freshman Focus. All participants were interviewed again 3 years later during students' senior year to investigate how Freshman Focus might have fostered a long-lasting community of care that extended throughout students' high school years. Findings suggest teacher-student and program-student relationships served as ways to foster a community of care that promoted a positive school experience for students. While findings indicate that Freshman Focus fostered a community of care that lasted throughout these students' high school years, it is unclear whether this caring community extended to the broader school community.
