Why Middle Level Education Month?
Middle schoolers are amazing humans. Their educators and caregivers have the privilege of watching them develop physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively as they discover new vistas, form new relationships, and explore their developing identity. We have so much to benefit from knowing and understanding students’ perspectives on themselves, their education, and the world around them. Did you know:
-10-15 year-olds are experiencing the most rapid, significant changes of their lives other than infancy.
-During the middle grades, students construct the attitudes, values, and dispositions that will form who they become as adults.
-Young adolescents are developing the ability to imagine the future and think ahead. They begin to make decisions based less on impulse and more on goals.
-Of all age groups, middle grades students are the most receptive to positive change following a career development intervention – more so than even high school students.
