This course will present you with ideas on how to effectively teach middle school and high school age students. You will explore how the physical, emotional, and psychological development of students of this age affect how they act, learn, and relate to one another. In addition, you will gather and create resources that you, your students, and their parents can use to help them minimize stress and increase academic and interpersonal success. Upon completing this course, you will have a treasure trove of ideas, activities, tips, and lessons to help you survive teaching one of the most challenging age groups.
