I am the director of secondary school student teachers at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. I teach courses in Middle School Philosophy, Educational Psychology, and Teaching and Classroom Management. I have found this text to be an excellent resource when focusing on the curriculum, management, and developmental needs of the adolescent. I highly recommend it.
