Published2008, 01/28/2011 PublisherNational Center on Educational Outcomes AbstractThis study focused on the instructional strategies employed at the middle and junior high school level. Teaching and learning at the middle school level have been found particularly challenging, perhaps because the curriculum places greater cognitive demands on emerging adolescents at a developmental stage when students, especially those who have already been struggling, can be at higher risk for academic failure (Mikow-Porto, Humphries, Egelson, O’Connell, & Teague, 2004). ELLs with disabilities could be at particular risk given the combination of learning challenges they may encounter during the middle school years. Files
