Book Synopsis The Emergent Middle School by : William Marvin Alexander
Download or read book The Emergent Middle School written by William Marvin Alexander and published by Holt McDougal. This book was released on 1969 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adjective "emergent" is applied to a recent school trend which originated in dissatisfaction with what the junior high school has become, not with its original concept of function. The emergent middle school is "a school program planned for a range of older children, preadolescents, and early adolescents that builds upon the elementary school program for earlier childhood and in turn is built upon by the high school's program for adolescence" (p, 5) encompassing grades 5-8 or 6-8. These years are a "crucial" time for establishing basic attitudes toward learning, best served with an articulated bridging curriculum which would introduce intellectual challenge and a wide range of facilities. There must be much provision for individualization, for at no other level of schooling is there such a wide range of social, physical, and intellectual development. The creation of a new school level with a different name will facilitate innovation and attract a capable staff.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of the Middle School in Independent Education by : Lawrence S. Sykoff
Download or read book The Emergence of the Middle School in Independent Education written by Lawrence S. Sykoff and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Independent schools across the nation have adopted the middle school concept. The critical element in the evolution of the middle school in independent education is that the unique and marked changes in the overall intellectual and psycho-social development of adolescents have been systematically identified and integrated into a multi-divisional (K-12) structure. The literature and statistical information documenting the emergence of the middle school in independent education has been minimal. While contemporary research on public middle schools is extensive, very little data collection or theoretical models have been accumulated about the middle school movement in the private sector. The present study sought to document and analyze the process by which independent school administrators have not only realigned their curricula, but reorganized their educational programs in order to meet the inclusive needs of students during pre and early adolescence. This research utilized the survey method to elicit information from independent middle school educators about the nature of their programs. A questionnaire, incorporating both open-ended and forced-choice questions, was designed to identify the factors that shaped trends and practices in middle level education. Five research objectives were developed to gather information about organizational change and grade level patterns, administrative reasons for adopting the middle school concept, successes of the middle school, achievements associated with middle schools, and the characteristics of effective middle schools. This research indicated that the independent middle school has emerged as a separate and distinct entity from its divisional partners in the lower and upper school. A model for shared divisional alliances among the lower, middle and upper school divisions was identified as essential in the promotion of successful grade level matriculation. Independent school educators have created a climate and culture that integrate the multidimensional aspects of adolescent maturation into the learning process. That is, the K-12 structure utilizes the middle school as part of an overall program that acknowledges and organizes sequential periods of transition. In this context the middle school maintains, reinforces, and facilitates the development of the child into adolescence. The study concludes with a set of implications and recommendations for additional research.

Book Synopsis The War Against Excellence by : Cheri Pierson Yecke
Download or read book The War Against Excellence written by Cheri Pierson Yecke and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, veteran teacher Cheri Pierson Yecke details the chronological history of the middle school movement in the U. S. by tracing its evolution from academically-oriented junior high schools to the dissolution of academics in the middle schools of the late 1980s and beyond. In this book, evidence is presented to show how leaders of this movement designed to use the middle school as a vehicle to promote non-academic goals, contrary to the desires of parents and the community. Favored instructional practices--such as the elimination of ability grouping and the rise in cooperative learning and peer tutoring--have produced coerced egalitarianism, where education performance is equalized by bringing the achievement of gifted and high ability students down to the level of mediocrity. The War against Excellence examines the impact of: -The reduction of academic expectations -Widespread elimination of ability grouping Features include: -Examples of how favored middle school instructional practices have been implemented in other countries, and -An analysis on the implications of these changes for the future of our country The influence of these changes has seriously crippled our middle schools in their obligation to provide a solid academic foundation for all students. Yecke provides research-based information that will appeal to parents and educators who want to confront problems with specific instructional practices and improve public education.
Book Synopsis Middle School Matters by : Phyllis L. Fagell
Download or read book Middle School Matters written by Phyllis L. Fagell and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A counselor and popular Washington Post contributor offers a new take on grades 6-8 as a distinct developmental phase--and the perfect time to set up kids to thrive. Middle school is its own important, distinct territory, and yet it's either written off as an uncomfortable rite of passage or lumped in with other developmental phases. Based on her many years working in schools, professional counselor Phyllis Fagell sees these years instead as a critical stage that parents can't afford to ignore (and though "middle school" includes different grades in various regions, Fagell maintains that the ages make more of a difference than the setting). Though the transition from childhood to adolescence can be tough for kids, this time of rapid physical, intellectual, moral, social, and emotional change is a unique opportunity to proactively build character and confidence. Fagell helps parents use the middle school years as a low-stakes training ground to teach kids the key skills they'll need to thrive now and in the future, including making good friend choices, negotiating conflict, regulating their own emotions, be their own advocates, and more. To answer parents' most common questions and struggles with middle school-aged children, Fagell combines her professional and personal expertise with stories and advice from prominent psychologists, doctors, parents, educators, school professionals, and middle schoolers themselves.
