Middle School Core Learning (General Instruction 6-8)

Middle School classrooms allow students to explore and develop their own learning styles and interests, while developing core competency skills. Emotionally safe spaces are completely supervisable by caring staff, while starting to give students some moments of choice and agency over their own learning. Although the configuration and special considerations vary between instructional communities, core learning spaces include classrooms and areas for whole group and small group lecture/discussion, individual study and practice, small group and whole group cooperative and collaborative learning activities, instructor-led individual and group tutoring, peer tutoring, and student testing.
