About this title

From the Back Cover

For an in-depth view of how middle level schools have successfully implemented community service and service learning, turn to this insightful new resource. It features a comprehensive look at all disciplines, such as: math, science, social studies, language arts, and technology, from a broad perspective of contributors representing administrators, professors, and public school teachers. At a time when there is possibly more innovation taking place in the area of middle level education than at any other level, teachers and administrators are developing and implementing a vast array of new curricular and extra-curricular projects and programs designed to make learning exciting and relevant to the lives of young adolescents. Two of those programs are the focus of this new volume: social issues within the middle school curriculum, and student involvement in service. Middle School Educators. A Longwood Professional Book.
