Publisher's Synopsis
Teaching and Learning in The Middle Grades focuses exclusively on the teaching and learning of young adolescents in middle schools. It was written in response to the demand for a text that solely addresses the needs of middle grade students in methods courses, distinguishing them from elementary school students or secondary school students since their physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs greatly differ. The text emphasizes that pre-and in-service middle grade teachers must be aware of these needs and must keep them in mind when they plan and teach.
