What I've learned from eight months of teaching sixth grade: big changes happen in sixth grade year. Seventh grade remains the most challenging, but anticipate changes. Sixth graders go from elementary school babies to true middle schoolers. Create structure, structure, and more structure. Sixth graders want and need you to tell them how to do every, and I mean every, little thing. That I know now.
Teacher Lesson: Sixth graders need structure.
