DEVELOPMENT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
LEARNING PHILOSOPHY
Authenticity nurtures the middle school mind. Relevance, engagement, and
empowerment are essential for all learners, but perhaps they are most critical for
young adolescents, who need to cultivate their curiosity and grow their love for
learning.
During early adolescence, youth
are more interested in real life
experiences and authentic
learning opportunities; they are
less interested in traditional
academic subjects.
