In this paper, the authors will present results from a study carried out in one Norwegian municipality among teachers taking part in a two-year intervention study. Seventy-four 8th and 9th grade teachers at six lower secondary schools in one municipality participated in the study. Teachers report that the transition from Elementary to Lower secondary school is problematic for approximately 30% of the pupils. About 70% of the teachers report that 25% or more of pupils transitioning to Grade 8 lack academic experiences and skills and have problems following directions.
