Summary Turning Points in Middle Schools follows a fictional school (Dewey Middle School) in its transition from a traditional junior high to a middle school. A series of true-to-life stories depicts the fundamental differences between the two kinds of schools and how change comes about. The authors analyze and explore the stresses both staff and students will encounter during the complex transition process. They present a cohesive, realistic portrayal of the successes and the inevitable disappointments involved and offer tips on how to help everyone better handle these changes. You'll examine these key issues: developmental characteristics of early adolescents; components of a successful middles school; curricular and instructional practices in middle schools; personal and group dynamics - building relationships; and the change process itself.
