DEVELOPMENT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

LEARNING PHILOSOPHY

Authenticity nurtures the middle school mind. Relevance, engagement, and

empowerment are essential for all learners, but perhaps they are most critical for

young adolescents, who need to cultivate their curiosity and grow their love for

learning.

During early adolescence, youth

are more interested in real life

experiences and authentic

learning opportunities; they are

less interested in traditional

academic subjects.
