Transitioning into the middle school can be overwhelming and challenging for some students and exciting and fun for others. How should we as teachers be prepared for all of our students' feelings and anxieties?
From the website, www.glencoe.com , the article, "Strategies for Managing Middle School Classrooms" is very informative in the process and transition that middle school students will go through.
"Middle School students experience developmental changes unparalleled by any other age group. Puberty marks a time when students' lives are filled with emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. Yet, individual students progress through this transition period at varying times and paces. A "one size fits all" formula for middle school maturity levels does not apply."(glencoe)
