Great
Schools Meet Students’ Developmental
Needs
By Jane Sonenshein, State Board of
Education, District 10
The
complexity of education becomes evident as each
new area of study indicates a new emphasis
needed to help our children achieve academic
success. Over the past six months I have served
on a national study panel for the National
Association of State Boards of Education
focused on the middle grades. Grades 5 through
8, serving our early adolescents ten to
fourteen years old, are awkward because no one
knows where they fit. We have K-8 elementaries,
5-8 middle schools, and every combination in
between. We often seem to think the building
this age student sits in should determine the
way he or she is taught.
