Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Young teens undergo multiple changes that seem to set them apart from other students. But do middle schools actually meet their special needs? The authors describe some of the challenges and offer ways to tackle them, such as reassessing the organization of grades K-12; specifically assisting the students most in need; finding ways to prevent disciplinary problems; and helping parents understand how they can help their children learn at home.

A Case Study of Attitudes and Perceptions of Leadership Characteristics as Perceived by Middle School Teachers and the Principals

Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This dissertation determined the congruence with the order of importance concerning what middle school teachers and middle school principals value regarding the behavioral characteristics of effective middle school principals and if a relationship exists between those characteristics and the 2006/2008 North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Surveys. The indications and suggestions of this research were based on the data collected from many different middle schools representing different geographical areas within a large school system located within the piedmont-triad central region of North Carolina. Information was obtained from different multi-question surveys from middle school teachers and principals, open-ended questions, and focus group interviews. This component of the study identified any common behavioral characteristics that the teachers and principals, at the same school, have of themselves with an order of importance. This information was compared to the 2006 and 2008 results of the North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Surveys information from the same middle schools to determine if a correlation existed between the total data collected. The results of this research indicated that the younger teachers with less teaching experiences wanted their principal to have the traits of a manager and an instructional leader. The older teachers with more teaching experiences wanted their principal to have the traits of one who uses people skills and one who has a vision. The principals see themselves primarily as instructional leaders.

A Quantitative Analysis of Middle School Educators' Perceptions of the Categories and Characteristics of Successful Schools Developed by the Association for Middle Level Education Based on Licensure and Professional Experiences

Book Description
Currently, the state of Ohio has a separate licensure classification specific to middle-level education, but this was not always the case. Prior to 1998, core teachers were prepared by universities to focus on elementary (K-8) or secondary (7-12). Teachers who obtained their license after the reform are broken into three groups: Early Childhood (PreK-3), Middle Childhood (4-9), and Adolescent-to-Young Adult (7-12). This study examined the relationship between an educator's license, role in the school, and professional experience to their comparative valuation of middle-level education's best practices and philosophies as described by the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE). As states examine returning to a broader grade-band licensure system to increase the flexibility of teacher assignments, this study's results may help to illuminate the relative impact a change may have on teachers' attitudes and values. This research tested the hypothesis that educators with a middle childhood license will value specific characteristics differently than those with other certifications and school roles. An online survey was completed by Ohio middle-level educators. The participants placed a valuation score between the three categories that describe AMLE's best practices and identified the most important of those groups' characteristics. While the analysis did not find a statistically significant difference across most of the variables, trends did emerge in what educators identified most with. This research gives insight to middle-level school leaders of which practices have the greatest amount of belief and support amongst the staff and which elements may need more support.

In the Middle

Pages : 220
Book Description
Prompted by widely held concerns about middle schools' academic rigor and the effectiveness of activities designed to help early adolescents develop in non-academic realms, many middle school educators have renewed efforts to develop curricula and instructional strategies that challenge students academically and expand their intellectual interests, to ensure that teachers receive appropriate training to meet student needs, and to create more nurturing and supportive environments. This report uses data from the Schools and Staffing Survey and the accompanying Teacher Follow-Up Survey to describe various aspects of middle schools, examine how they have changed over time, and compare middle schools with elementary and secondary schools. Following an introduction exploring policy issues related to middle schools, the report examines data in the areas of: (1) organization of schooling, including locations, size and other characteristics, and classroom organization and class size; (2) programs and services, including health-related services; (3) decision making and management, including site-based decision making and principals' and teachers' perceptions of their influence; (4) staffing, including qualifications, teacher workload, and staff turnover; and (5) school climate, including teacher satisfaction, and teachers' and administrators' ratings of problems at their schools. The concluding section of the report explores areas for future research. Tables and notes are appended. (Contains 66 references.) (HTH)
