Description:

Research has indicated that middle school students have unique needs because of the rapid changes that occur during this age. This course is designed to help you understand the cognitive, physical, emotional, social and moral development of the early adolescent both with and without special needs. Understanding growth and development is the first step to designing a school that meets young adolescent needs. These needs must be translated into appropriate school practices in order for the middle school concept, interdisciplinary planning, team teaching, the integrated and integrative curriculum, cooperative learning, advisory groups, the exploratory curriculum, peer mediation, and appropriate instructional and classroom management strategies for the middle school student.
