The adolescent learner is changing. It truly is a time of excitement, growth, and change for boys and girls who are entering the stages of early adolescence. The body of research regarding children between the ages of 10 and 17 years of age has never been stronger in looking at the complex play of body chemistry, brain development, and cognitive growth (Buchanan, Eccles, & Becker, 1992). Moreover, educators are in a critical position to promote healthy adolescent growth by providing reasonable, supportive environments that have a predictable, enforced structure.
I count 13 teachers, principals, and other staff on the Grade Alignment Committee, each of whom presumably read the above and saw no problem with it.
