Riassunto

Most teacher preparation programs offer two tracks: elementary (K-6) or high school track (7-12). Consequently, most middle school teachers have not been trained to teach the grade they are teaching. Adolescents are an undeniably unique age group and unique, age-specific approaches must be used to reach them. But, alas, it is a far too common reality for new middle school teachers to be given their keys, a pat on the back, and wished the best of luck, only to find, half of them leave the profession within five years time. Angela Vaughn Averitt had a mission: to create the essential handbook for middle school teachers...to empower them with the skills necessary to walk into a room of adolescents with confidence. She has identified age-specific approaches that work and makes them accessible for today s fast-paced lifestyle. Perhaps The Middle School Classroom: Rx for Success will one day be described as The First Days of School for the middle school teacher. Within its 184 pages are motivational strategies, philosophies, and techniques that will minimize time spent on discipline, maximize instruction time, and promote rapport between student and teacher. Finally there is a book on middle school classroom management that does not bury the meat of the work, presents only the most essential aspects of the teacher experience, and therefore reads with ease.
