Constructivist Strategies for Diverse Middle-Level Teachers is designed to prepare prospective middle-level teachers for their first classroom experience and to help in-service teachers improve their teaching skills.

Each of the themes in this text addresses a major goal set by the Carnegie Council on Academic Development or by the National Middle School Association particularly selected for middle-level programs. The book employs as its focus constructivism, multiculturalism, and a proactive approach to teaching—all topics of importance to teacher educators.
