Turning Point: Chapter 2

Chapter 2: In order for this new middle school education system to work, the educators are a key for success. Educators should have or try to live up to certain characteristics that help maintain this new system. It is important as an educator to teach a grounded curriculum, one that maintains students’ interests and compliments to students learning style. Curriculum assessment and instruction should be connected. This new middle school education also tries to reincorporate the engagement of students and their families. School systems succeed with the support of families and without that support the school and community would degrade. It is a two way street.
