Download or read book The Emergent Middle School written by William Marvin Alexander and published by Holt McDougal. This book was released on 1969 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adjective "emergent" is applied to a recent school trend which originated in dissatisfaction with what the junior high school has become, not with its original concept of function. The emergent middle school is "a school program planned for a range of older children, preadolescents, and early adolescents that builds upon the elementary school program for earlier childhood and in turn is built upon by the high school's program for adolescence" (p, 5) encompassing grades 5-8 or 6-8. These years are a "crucial" time for establishing basic attitudes toward learning, best served with an articulated bridging curriculum which would introduce intellectual challenge and a wide range of facilities. There must be much provision for individualization, for at no other level of schooling is there such a wide range of social, physical, and intellectual development. The creation of a new school level with a different name will facilitate innovation and attract a capable staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent educational reform initiatives such as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) largely fail to address the needs--or tap into the unique resources--of students who are developing literacy skills in both English and a home language. This book discusses ways to meet the challenges that current standards pose for teaching emergent bilingual students in grades K-8. Leading experts describe effective, standards-aligned instructional approaches and programs expressly developed to promote bilingual learners' academic vocabulary, comprehension, speaking, writing, and content learning. Innovative policy recommendations and professional development approaches are also presented.
Download or read book The Critical Middle School Reader written by Enora R. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of the book is to expand the scope of revisionary studies of the thirties by analyzing novels using recent innovations in critical theory. The book adds to the research of Barbara Foley, Michael Denning, Alan Wald, and others who have challenged Cold-War-era accounts of the decade's socialist and communist culture. The book explores leftist literature from the thirties as balanced between two antithetical philosophical modalities: identity and ideology. Writers create identitarian fiction, he argues, as they attempt to appeal to a mainstream audience using familiar types and patterns culled from mass culture. They engage ideology, on the other hand, when they use narrative as a means of critiquing those same types and patterns using strategies of ideological critique similar to those of their European contemporary Georg Lukács.

Download or read book Emergent Teaching written by Sam Crowell and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergent Teaching inspires teachers to teach with more spontaneity and creativity within an educational environment that is highly constrained. It demonstrates, through descriptive stories, creative strategies and provides an intellectual foundation for emergent teaching. The authors show how teachers can relate subject matter to students’ lives and experience. They illustrate rituals and processes that help establish a caring learning community. Finally, the book applies the theories of complexity and chaos while reaffirming the natural wisdom that teachers possess within themselves. The authors have chosen a narrative format that “models” rather than “tells,” and encourages readers to connect to their own stories and experiences. The book is consistent with the theoretical understandings and research in the complexity sciences but takes a narrative approach, giving examples and illustrations of ideas through stories, myths, and parables that act as metaphors and illustrations. Key topics and practices embedded in these stories include teaching the whole person strategies for creative teaching new understandings of process meaning-centered learning building community in the classroom strengthening the student/teacher relationship project-based learning using art and nature in teaching embodied learning incorporating story and narrative in teaching rites of passage embracing the unpredictable, uncharted spaces in teaching
