A Milestone for Middle Level Education

Middle School Curriculum from Rhetoric to Reality represents a breakthrough in middle level education, which prior to this publication focused primarily upon the structural elements of middle schools. Beane refocuses the discussion not only upon upon how educators in the middle grades should develop integrative units to help students construct meaning, but how to match the pertinent of concerns of young adolescents with important issues facing the society at large. An important treatise on implementing the principles of democratic education during early adolescence.
