Teachers in middle level schools face overwhelming
demands and challenges in their classrooms. They are expected to know content
and pedagogy, develop engaging lessons that meet the needs of diverse learners,
and use a variety of instructional strategies that will boost student
achievement while they simultaneously develop positive relationships with, on
average, 125 students each day who are experiencing the personal, social, and cognitive
challenges and opportunities of early adolescence (Carnegie Council on
Adolescent Development, 1995; Schmakel, 2008).
