Our faculty at Main Street Middle School is divided into collaborative teaching teams who meet daily to discuss curriculum, instruction, assessment, and their students in order to ensure student success. Even though the teams may look different structurally, they each work toward the same goals and objectives for student learning.
The Vermont Middle Grades Task Force spent the past three years examining research, studying practices, and evaluating national documents on effective middle level education. As a result of this work, Vermont middle schools now have a specific document called Middle School Is Not A Building.This document outlines the essential goals, elements and practices for creating appropriate learning opportunities for adolescent students in Vermont.
Below are the specific task force goals related to curriculum, instruction and assessment to give you an idea of the work at hand and the nature of our middle school experience for students.
Early adolescence, ages 10-15, is a unique time of life, one filled with extraordinary potential, excitement, and challenge. The rapid and dramatic development that occurs during this stage of life – intellectual, socio-emotional, and physical – prompts students to ask rich questions about themselves and the world around them.
--Penny Bishop, Co-Chair of the Vermont Middle Grades Task Force and Director of Middle Level Teacher Education at the University of Vermont
