A paper urging Mayor de Blasio and his team to consider insights and recommendations about middle-grades learning in New York City. Moving away from outdated assumptions about adolescence and schooling, this work suggests and expands upon the following:
1. Reframe middle-grades learning as a community responsibility.
2. Focus accountability on student learning and development in and out of school.
3. Strengthen middle-grades schools as centers of youth development.
4. Incentivize innovative designs.
5. Prepare and support a range of adults to foster middle-grades learning in and out of school.
