One way to encourage this is with interactive homework, which enables students to lead conversations with a parent or family partner about something interesting they are learning in class. An exploratory study tested whether eighth graders would talk with a parent about the transition to high school and about the roles parents may play to support student success in grade 9. Studies indicate that parents make the transition to high school with their students, but many are unsure of how to sustain age-appropriate engagement in their teen’s education. We found that students were able and willing to conduct discussions on four critical issues that determine success or failure in high school: attendance, course passing, GPA, and motivation to succeed. In written comments for each assignment, students were thoughtful and hopeful about entering grade 9 and graduating from high school on time. Parents were positive about their interactions with their early adolescents. Importantly, when parents enjoyed a conversation with their students, they were significantly more likely to say that they gained insights into the importance of on-going engagement in their student’s education in high school.","PeriodicalId":37061,"journal":{"name":"Middle School Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"4 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00940771.2020.1840959","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59059720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, based on qualitative field note data from a larger four-year study of a continuous improvement initiative focused on improving family engagement during the transition from middle grades to high school, identifies both the challenges families face in using the online parent portal and the challenges school leaders face in: a) ensuring that the portal is a useful tool to families; and b) communicating information to families about using the portal effectively. This article suggests the need for district leaders, principals, teachers, and other school staff to reflect systematically on the design and purposes of a parent portal, and ways to make the portal a useful tool for families to monitor students’ academic progress and help to improve students’ grades. It also provides recommendations for how school leaders can apply a continuous improvement approach to increase the number of families that access the portal regularly.","PeriodicalId":37061,"journal":{"name":"Middle School Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"14 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00940771.2020.1840269","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42953058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ELLs’ academic needs in middle school settings are particularly unique. Compared to younger children, middle school ELLs face more challenging tasks. They need to develop both complex content knowledge and language skills at the same time to be successful in school. Given that ELLs’ language and literacy development is foundational to their successful academic learning across the curriculum, it is important for middle school teachers to deepen their theoretical understanding of ELLs’ language and literacy learning processes. Yet, many teachers experience difficulties in understanding SLA theories because the conceptually complex theories are often presented in an inaccessible manner, obscured by linguistic jargon. This article, drawn from a review of theoretical perspectives in the literature and over a decade of classroom studies, provides a synopsis of the major theoretical orientations. These theories provide important instructional implications on how middle school teachers can successfully support ELLs’ language and literacy learning across the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":37061,"journal":{"name":"Middle School Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"23 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00940771.2020.1840270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43495224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
