Reviews

Teachers in the Middle' is an enormously important book, one of a relative few that takes us beyond the often trivialized treatment of young adolescents and their schools. In its place we see the possibility of democratic middle schooling complete with student voice, collaborative relationships, intellectually challenging and meaningful curriculum, and much more. Set in Australia, 'Teachers in the Middle' speaks to policies, politics, and practice in middle schooling everywhere. -- James Beane
