Editing Decoding Transitions to College (section)

Both the high school and college teachers threw themselves into the Decoding process with great enthusiasm. The teachers on both levels reported that they gained a new understanding of the broader arc of learning that their students experience and that this knowledge is offering them new possibilities for reaching more students. They identified common bottlenecks to learning that limit students' success on both sides of the high school/college frontier, and they provided abundant testimony that the Decoding interviews had not only helped them develop new ways to help students get past specific bottlenecks, but had fundamentally transformed their understanding of teaching and learning. 

The impact of the Decoding Transitions to College Project was not limited to the teachers who directly participated in the summer workshops. Fellows from both levels spontaneously formed learning communities in their institutions that introduced other teachers to the Decoding process and conducted interviews on their own. They continue to share their work at state, national, and international meetings and through publications.  And the concrete products of the program -- the identification of crucial bottlenecks to learning, transcripts and videos of the interviews, lesson plans used to model steps revealed in these interaction, evidence of the impact of these interventions, and materials used to share Decoding with colleagues in various contexts -- all of these will be made available to teachers around the world through this Wiki.

The success of this pilot went well beyond the expectations of its directors, and there is every reason to believe that this model can have the same impact on teachers and teaching in other contexts.
