Book Synopsis Middle School Handbook by : Harry Finks
Download or read book Middle School Handbook written by Harry Finks and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The middle school provides a planned transition from childhood to young adulthood: it moves a student from the protective nurture of elementary school to the more depersonalized high school setting gradually, sensitively, and by design. Composed of the ideas from middle school education that each of the educators who choose this wonderful level of educational concentration seem to discover over and over again, this handbook is divided into six sections. The first and second sections introduce the middle schooler and cover the history and focus of middle schools. Section 3 discusses such topics associated with the middle school curriculum as sexuality and physical education, evaluation and grading, and scheduling. Sections 4 and 5 are dedicated to middle school educators--teachers and the principal--and the middle schooler's parents. The sixth section highlights important middle school issues including advisors, behavior, leadership and participation, mixed-age groups, multicultural education, networking, and transition. Intended to become a workbook for each of its readers, this document has wide margins to make room for personal stories and anecdotes. Topics covered in the appendices include learning and learners, boldness, middle school teachers, parent peer groups, middle and upper school cooperation, and the resources used for this document.

Book Synopsis Impact of an Experiential Learning Middle School on the Transition to High School by : Elizabeth Lapon
Download or read book Impact of an Experiential Learning Middle School on the Transition to High School written by Elizabeth Lapon and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The middle school concept, including its preferred teaching practices, has been unravelling due to a focus on standardized test scores (STS). Students are finishing their middle school experience unprepared to make the transition to high school. This narrative study investigated through storytelling the experiences of students who attended an experiential learning middle school (ELMS) and then transitioned to a public high school. The testimonies of the participants revealed that certain skills, attitudes, and personal characteristics were developed in middle school that they believe helped them to succeed in high school. Those essential skills included: academic strengths, relationships with peers, and relationship with teachers. An academic weakness of attending the ELMS was the lack of preparation for formative, summative, and standardized test taking. The two critical attitudes toward learning and school included: a love of learning and the perception that a school should be a community. Personal characteristics necessary for making the transition included: self-reliance, self-advocacy, and grit"--Author's abstract.

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.
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 Falling to Pieces: Navigating the Transition to Middle School and Merging Friends by : Sarina Rogers
Download or read book Falling to Pieces: Navigating the Transition to Middle School and Merging Friends written by Sarina Rogers and published by Reflections Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Falling to Pieces is written and illustrated by kids and part of Reflections Publishing's "Kids Helping Kids Through Books" series. Falling to Pieces addresses the transition of moving from elementary school to middle school and how to merge new and old friends during the process. The fiction stories in this series are written and illustrated from the fresh perspective of kids. With the stories written by child authors, child readers who are going through a difficult time can read these stories and have their feelings validated. By connecting with the children through a fiction story, it simply provides a start for the healing process. Because true healing requires a broad focus on emotional, educational, social, and even spiritual needs, this series also provides a non-fiction section for children (and parents) with the tools they need to navigate through these situations. Specifically, at the back of each book in this series, readers will find commentaries for dealing with difficult situations from experts in various fields (e.g., child psychologists, educators, therapists, and religious scholars). We believe this series will provide children with valuable tools to assist them in dealing with many real-life challenges. Description of Falling to Pieces: Can friendship survive the transition from elementary school to middle school? Best friends Erica Ramirez and Jessica Johnson, who had known each other since first grade, began to wonder. Through the end of sixth grade, the girls had been constantly together, and they often wrote in a special journal that Erica had brought from her native country of Brazil. Over the summer, they purchased a new journal to symbolize the next chapter in their lives-going off to middle school. However, on the first day of school, Erica and Jessica discovered that they didn't have any classes together, and it wasn't long before their friendship began to unravel. Follow the girls through seventh grade as they learn to resolve their differences and merge the past with the present. Reviews: "A unique series for children, by children." -Booklist "Offering kid-authored stories on tough topics like divorce, fear, bullying, and peer pressure, Reflections Publishing opens communication to assist families emotionally, socially, and spiritually. These books are not only fun to read, they're also filled with expert advice, tips, and tools on how to navigate life's most difficult challenges. Must-haves for every family's library, these books are treasures that children and parents can refer to again and again." -Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager (r) and Whale Done Parenting "Falling to Pieces should be a relevant handbook for all tweens heading off to middle school, a time of many challenging transitions. Written in an authentic and relatable voice, the story eloquently helps tweens realize that they aren't alone in their everyday feelings and struggles and provides them with useful advice to help navigate through middle school." -Mary Anne Fuchs, M.D., F.A.C.E.P. "Falling to Pieces is an eloquently written book that not only gives validation, comfort, and a voice to our tweens, but also clear guidance to those who support them through the inevitable struggles of balancing social and academic worlds. Another must-read by the child authors at Reflections Publishing " -Lynn Dubenko, Ph.D., Child/Family Psychologi
