In this section, there is research given that supports the topics in the book. Middle school teachers should be aware of the research and techniques that are presented in this book.

One way that teachers can help to create this is through their curriculum, their instruction and their assessment. By building a curriculum that reaches out to the students had meets their needs and by building and maintaining relationships with student teachers will be able to do just that. Educators need to be aware that middle school students are changing and developing in physical ways, intellectual ways, moral and emotional ways, psychological ways, and in social ways.
