Are Your Students Held Accountable?, Shauna Bashline
Are Your Students Held Accountable?, Shauna Bashline
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
How do we hold our students accountable? As teachers, that is a question we face every day. This article describes several ways to help students become more accountable. A student-led parent-teacher conference puts the student in the spotlight and allows them to speak on their own education with family. “Classroom Court” allows for students to help decide if their classmates are following a rule established by the class. Lastly, project-based learning with student choice allows students the opportunity to stretch their imagination and be more creative with their learning.
No Cap: Unlocking The Self-Concepts Of Students To Promote Limitless Identities, Walter Lee
No Cap: Unlocking The Self-Concepts Of Students To Promote Limitless Identities, Walter Lee
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
If students do not perceive themselves as capable, they will likely decline opportunities that threaten their self-beliefs. This requires educators to create redefining moments for students to experience struggle in a safe environment that ultimately encourages students to remove personal limitations. When teachers are critical about ways to respond to negative, limiting self-concepts, students may conquer breakthroughs in learning. In this article, I suggest that a change in self-concept represents a change in mindset, producing significant learning outcomes. To accomplish this, I will discuss self- concept, self-efficacy, and implications on teaching, using the CARE theory of self-concept development.
Movement For A Purpose: The Middle School Classroom And Student Engagement, Emily F. Chestnut
Movement For A Purpose: The Middle School Classroom And Student Engagement, Emily F. Chestnut
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
When students reach adolescence, they begin to lose their excitement for learning and student behavior declines. Many students lose interest in their schoolwork because too many educators are still relying on the traditional classroom model. Research evidence reminds middle school educators why movement is an essential physical and emotional component of adolescent learning and development. The aim of this article is to remove the negative or stressful stigma many educators have about movement in the classroom and provide practical strategies to allow students to move each day.

Learning Hunts Are Educational Scavenger Hunts, Leah Bynes
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
Research has shown that integrating subjects provides opportunities for more relevant, less fragmented, and more stimulating experiences for learners (Furner and Kumar, 2007). Learning Hunts allow students to take ownership of their learning through valuable and connected experiences while staying engaged the entire time.

Analysis Of Middle School Performance From Pre-Covid To Post Covid, Erik A. Lowry
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
According to a January 11, 2021, SC Education Oversight Committee news release, Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) testing data from approximately 220,000 South Carolina students showed a projected decrease in the percentage of students meeting grade level expectations. The news release defines this as the “COVID Slide” (SCEOC, 2021). The purpose of this review is to see if those projections were accurate by conducting a state-wide review of middle school performance on the South Carolina College-and Career-Ready Assessments (SC READY). Comparisons are made by subject, grade level, gender, ethnicity, and poverty status from 2019 to 2021.

Melody And Memory: Black Language In The Low Country, Dywanna Smith, Kenesha Johnson
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
Black Language has historically been marginalized as a broken form of Standard English forcing the speakers of this language to conform and devalue their native tongue. This impact has led to a negative stigma on Black Language and forced Black people to relinquish their cultural literacies. This study reflects on understanding why Black Language must be recognized as a legitimate language. It also illustrates why Black Language should be welcomed into the classroom as it provides a pathway to self-actualization affording Black students the opportunity to self-define and self-validate their existence. Special emphasis is placed on how language impacts adolescent …

Advocating For Adolescent Literature, Michelle Rasheed, Deborah Mcmurtrie
South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal
We advocate building an extensive adolescent literature library to offer our pre-service teachers access to diverse texts, more text choices, and more opportunities for self-selected reading. In addition, we suggest using a faculty and student book club to model reading, write about literature, and discuss adolescent literature across disciplines.

Empirical Reflections On Women Students In Usa Nonprofit Academic Programs And Realizations About Ideological Influence, Norman A. Dolch
Journal of Ideology
This research reports on the beliefs of a select sample of women and men faculty across the USA regarding women in nonprofit organization academic programs. The main differences were on professional orientation among graduate students, difficulty with quantitative oriented courses, and portrayal of women in coursework. To eliminate these differences, beliefs (ideologies) among faculty and students need to be altered. Sanberg’s book Lean In is especially informative about changing beliefs about career orientation for both men and women to what she calls a belief in sustainable and fulfilling positions. Another valuable resource for faculty concerned about these issues is Creating …
