Teaching Ten to Fourteen Year Olds (3rd Edition)

This book provides effective, practical teaching strategies and activities for students ages 10 to 14. Stevenson links the three most basic elements of middle school teaching - the developmental traits of young adolescents, curriculum, and pedagogy - with ways that middle school methods are unique. This book also addresses three major interactive elements of middle level schooling: matching school to the nature and needs of young adolescent learners; implementing curriculum and pedagogy that provoke student initiative and learning; and the use of school organizational features which are accountable to both students and teacher needs. For middle school educators, or caregivers.
