Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Junior High School Idea IT is said that any one really wishing to get the point of view Of any serious study, whether it be in text-book form or not, should study the preface and the table of contents carefully, before beginning the first chapter. Most of us, however, are too impatient to begin the book we have selected to read, and to get directly to the story or explanation that concerns us, to be as careful in these matters as the experts tell us we Should. Because most of us may prefer the direct attack in this discussion of the purposes and practices of modern junior high school, we shall include in this, our first chapter, such preface or introduction as may be necessary. At Speyer Experimental Junior High School in New York City, where the aims and practices that we Shall discuss have been or are being worked out, we have a peculiarly managed school. The principal and teachers are paid by the City of New York as in all other public schools. The educational direction of the school, the selection of the program Of studies and the various courses, however, have been under the immediate supervision of Teachers College, Columbia University, with Professor Thomas H. Briggs as its representative in the field. Teachers College owns the Speyer build ing, the gift of Mr. James Speyer of New York City.

Download or read book Defining Student Success written by Lisa M. Nunn and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to success, our culture tells us, is a combination of talent and hard work. Why then, do high schools that supposedly subscribe to this view send students to college at such dramatically different rates? Why do students from one school succeed while students from another struggle? To the usual answer—an imbalance in resources—this book adds a far more subtle and complicated explanation. Defining Student Success shows how different schools foster dissimilar and sometimes conflicting ideas about what it takes to succeed—ideas that do more to preserve the status quo than to promote upward mobility. Lisa Nunn’s study of three public high schools reveals how students’ beliefs about their own success are shaped by their particular school environment and reinforced by curriculum and teaching practices. While American culture broadly defines success as a product of hard work or talent (at school, intelligence is the talent that matters most), Nunn shows that each school refines and adapts this American cultural wisdom in its own distinct way—reflecting the sensibilities and concerns of the people who inhabit each school. While one school fosters the belief that effort is all it takes to succeed, another fosters the belief that hard work will only get you so far because you have to be smart enough to master course concepts. Ultimately, Nunn argues that these school-level adaptations of cultural ideas about success become invisible advantages and disadvantages for students’ college-going futures. Some schools’ definitions of success match seamlessly with elite college admissions’ definition of the ideal college applicant, while others more closely align with the expectations of middle or low-tier institutions of higher education. With its insights into the transmission of ideas of success from society to school to student, this provocative work should prompt a reevaluation of the culture of secondary education. Only with a thorough understanding of this process will we ever find more consistent means of inculcating success, by any measure.

Download or read book The Junior High School written by Leonard V. Koos and published by . This book was released on 1920 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1909-10, the junior high school appeared in America as a deliberately planned unit of our public-school system. The idea developed slowly, and then WWI checked its progress almost completely. Now it is estimated there are more than 2,500 such schools in the United States. In this book Dr. Koos addresses the conditions that produced the junior high school, and lists its peculiar functions--the most important of which are a democratic school system, the recognition of the nature of adolescence, provision for better teaching, the securing of better scholarship, and improvement of the disciplinary situation and the socializing opportunities. The book is a real contribution to the literature of the junior high school. It should be studied by all who are concerned with the development or the ad- ministration of this new type of school organization.
Download or read book The Middle School Student s Guide to Academic Success written by Blake Nemelka and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s never too early to start achieving your goals! Get started on the road to success with this unique guide to middle school and beyond—brought to you by FranklinCovey, the company behind the 7 Habits series and The Leader in Me. Middle school is full of changes—maybe it’s a new, bigger school, maybe it’s friendships starting to get more complicated, or maybe it’s a combination of a lot of things. But these changes don’t have to be bad, in fact they could be the best thing for us—because when things start to change we have the opportunity to grow. That’s why even though middle schoolers have a ton of other things going on, middle school is the perfect time for them to start altering their habits and goals for their future success. Sure it might sound a little scary, but with a little help it can also be exciting! Framed as twelve conversations to start having, rather than checklists or rules, this unique guide helps students start thinking about what they want their futures to look like and readying themselves to achieve those goals. In The Middle School Student’s Guide to Academic Success, portions of which were previously published as Beat the Middle, authors Blake and Bo Nemelka offer tried and true advice, opportunities for reflection and action that middle schoolers can tailor to their individual goals and interests, and ways for parents and guardians to help them along the way. Beginning with topics students can get started on now—like setting goals, improving your GPA, working on time management skills, and balancing extracurricular activities—and moving forward to future subjects including college applications, scholarships, and money management—this book is the ultimate guide to helping readers become not only successful middle schoolers, but successful people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A counselor and popular Washington Post contributor offers a new take on grades 6-8 as a distinct developmental phase--and the perfect time to set up kids to thrive. Middle school is its own important, distinct territory, and yet it's either written off as an uncomfortable rite of passage or lumped in with other developmental phases. Based on her many years working in schools, professional counselor Phyllis Fagell sees these years instead as a critical stage that parents can't afford to ignore (and though "middle school" includes different grades in various regions, Fagell maintains that the ages make more of a difference than the setting). Though the transition from childhood to adolescence can be tough for kids, this time of rapid physical, intellectual, moral, social, and emotional change is a unique opportunity to proactively build character and confidence. Fagell helps parents use the middle school years as a low-stakes training ground to teach kids the key skills they'll need to thrive now and in the future, including making good friend choices, negotiating conflict, regulating their own emotions, be their own advocates, and more. To answer parents' most common questions and struggles with middle school-aged children, Fagell combines her professional and personal expertise with stories and advice from prominent psychologists, doctors, parents, educators, school professionals, and middle schoolers themselves.
