Introduction to Middle Level Education models the ideals of middle level education in that it is both academically rigorous and developmentally responsive. It's academically rigorous because it includes a comprehensive body of knowledge, and developmentally responsive because it is written in an engaging, first-person voice by an experienced middle level teacher. The text examines the full range of topics relevant to this group of students, from student development and diversity to the structures of middle level education, curriculum instruction, ongoing assessment, advisory, service learning and more.
The 4th Edition is a compelling look at the current issues and topics affecting young adolescents, their teachers, and their schools. It includes a new chapter on promoting citizenship and civility in the middle grades, and enhanced discussions of 21st century knowledge and skill requirements. Every chapter now includes letters from outstanding teachers illustrating how they connect with their students and foster supportive learning environments.
