We all know that our middle school stage starts in the sixth and seventh standard in our educational system. It is moving from an elementary to middle level school can be an especially trying time for parents and students alike. While the elementary setting is comparatively secure with a single teacher, basically the same classmates all day, and only one classroom, school resource brings changes. These changes are likely to result in greater learning opportunities-both academically and developmentally-but they are changes. Among the beneficial changes students and parents will find are different middle school teachers for different subjects, meaning that mathematics will be taught by a teacher who is particularly trained and experienced in middle school math, science by a science specialist, etc. Students are likely to receive more activity-oriented instruction in the several subjects. Most middle school lesson plans have adapted some form of team approach in which a group of students stays together for their core subjects-English, mathematics, science and social studies under the direction of two, three, or four teachers. These teachers have their planning time together during which they discuss the best ways to meet the learning and developmental needs of the young adolescents on their team.
