Mr. Walsh is chairing a committee that will be exploring effective ways of addressing the needs of the middle-school students. He wants to present suggestions to the committee of strategies and practices that will enhance the motivation and address the particular needs of students who are in middle school. Discuss specific strategies and practices that will address these developmental needs and
enhance student motivation.
What will be an ideal response?
An integrated curriculum that builds learning in several content areas will provide motivational and meaningful learning. Making assignments that have personal relevance will be motivational. Middle school students will benefit from individual attention of a teacher mentor. This one-to-one relationship will help to keep students connected with someone who demonstrates care for their best interests. Respect for the privacy of the students is essential.
