Meet Me in the Middle

Drawing on the wisdom of educators, researchers, and twenty years of personal experience in the middle school classroom, Rick Wormeli lays out a clear vision of what responsive middle-level teaching can be in Meet Me in the Middle: Becoming an Accomplished Middle-Level Teacher. Both a ""how-to"" book and a thoughtful narrative on important topics, Meet Me in the Middle gives you successful strategies for addressing key middle-level teaching challenges, including:differentiating instruction; motivating early adolescents; teaming; teaching in block-length classes; using authentic and alternative assessment effectively; writing in all subjects; holding students and teachers accountable; involving parents; mentoring teachers; using games in the classroom; applying the latest in brain research; the National Board Certification process; understanding the young adolescent. Rick ignites the imagination and commitment of pre-service and beginning teachers and rekindles the motivation of veteran teachers who want to create a high-performance classroom. He effectively demonstrates theory with rich examples from his own teaching. Teacher educators and staff developers will find Meet Me in the Middle to be a wonderful handbook of best practices and insights to share with new teachers, including second-career individuals coming from other professions.
