Teaching Middle Years
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-60308-7 (ISBN)
Recognition of the educational importance of this age group continues to grow as research reveals the benefits of programs designed especially for young people's needs. With a renewed approach, this fourth edition includes new chapters on Indigenous Knowledges, STEAM education, and sustainable practices. A trusted resource, the book continues to provide a systematic overview of the philosophy, principles, and key issues in middle schooling, together with an enhanced focus on the emotional and developmental challenges unique to this age group. There is an emphasis on creating positive learning environments, engaging relational pedagogies, achieving effective transition, the importance of physical activity and health in adolescence, and developing cooperative and collaborative learning. Further, there is an enhanced focus on practical applications right throughout the book.
Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, and fully revised and updated to reflect the latest research, Teaching Middle Years will assist both pre-service and in-service teachers to bring out the very best in their students.
