A design for improving middle grades education

Chapter 2:
Abstract:
Chapter two was full of recommendations. They recommend that you follow by set standards that are set by your state or school district. That the teachers are staffed with people who are knowledgeable about middle school age students. That staff should govern democratically while providing a safe and healthy environment. They also recommend that schools involve the parents and community members to help support and encourage the student learning. They express and emphasis that each teacher should work to ensure gets a full education.

Reflection:
The philosophy presented in Turning Points is meant to include every middle school student by making them effective human beings and informed citizens. This should be the main goal and philosophy of every school. The recommendations are good, but seem like repeats from all our education classes. The diagram 2.1 on page 25 was really good. These suggestions with experience and the eight essentials from chapter one would ensure a successful middle school.
