Beyond Early Childhood: Restructuring Efforts at the Middle Level.
Osuch, John
Childhood Education, v73 n5 p282-85 1997
Discusses the needs for restructuring the curriculum, instruction and environment of middle schools to better meet the needs of learners and teachers. Suggests that most reform today is moving toward a developmentally appropriate, child-centered approach. Issues under consideration include a definition of developmentally appropriate programs at this level, conditions for successful implementation, and avoidance of the retrenchment phenomenon. (AA)
