The Middle School Experience

Résumé du livre

The Middle School Experience helps prospective or current middle school teachers succeed as they work with students who have diverse learning needs, particularly students with disabilities. This helpful book shows how to integrate transition planning with age-appropriate instruction and emotional support. Such integration fosters self-determination in students with disabilities as they progress into high school and plan for adult life. The Middle School Experience presents a model of the integration process called The MidEx Model. The MidEx Model serves dual purposes: (a) to provide information and resources to current and prospective professionals and (b) to demonstrate how teachers and other professionals can present information and resources to middle school students. Each chapter incorporates information from the MidEx Model and offers strategies for classroom implementation.
