Extractions: When students leave the middle grades, they need to have the knowledge and skills to succeed in college-preparatory/honors science. This report provides guidance for a rigorous science curriculum in the middle grades that is based on a solid set of standards. Educators can use this framework in developing course syllabi, lesson plans, assignments, assessments and professional development activities that prepare students for this level of work. This volume is essential for state, district and school leaders who plan to implement schoolwide literacy programs. It provides concrete, research-based steps not only to raise reading and writing achievement but also to help students learn more in every class by using literacy skills. The guide focuses on five literacy goals: reading 25 books across the curriculum; writing weekly in all classes; using reading and writing strategies; writing research papers; and taking rigorous language-arts classes. In 1997 SREB launched a comprehensive middle grades improvement effort, Making Middle Grades Work. This research report examines the design and implementation of this comprehensive improvement effort in 52 middle grades schools in 16 states. The study addresses four basic questions: 1) Is student achievement higher for eighth-graders in the network than for other eighth-graders? 2) Why do schools with similar demographics perform differently? 3) Why is achievement higher for students in schools that have implemented the design more fully? 4) What can states, districts and schools do to improve middle grades achievement? The report includes a summary of findings and recommendations for states, districts and schools.

Extractions: Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and hands-on approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize props or manipulatives to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Extractions: Making Middle Grades Work Mission The mission of the middle school is to make sure that all students leave eighth grade with the knowledge and skills to be successful without remediation in a college-preparatory curriculum and with plans for what to study to complete high school and prepare for future education and careers. Essential Conditions Commitment State partners, the local school board, district leaders and the community must commit to implementing the comprehensive improvement framework fully. Planning for continuous improvement District and school leaders must create an organizational structure and a process that provide teachers and administrators with the time and means to discuss and plan strategies to raise student achievement. Leaders and teachers decide what to teach, how to teach, what to expect students to learn and how to evaluate student learning. Curriculum District leaders must encourage a review to assess the curriculums alignment with state, national and international standards. Content and performance standards will define the quantity and quality of work expected at each grade level. Support for professional development District and school leaders must provide leadership and financial support for professional development that is connected directly to academic standards and gaps in student achievement. Professional development includes support for teachers as they implement teaching practices that have proven records of effectiveness.
