The Middle School Survival Guide by Arlene Erlbach Pdf

The only survival guide a middle school kid will ever need. It can be the best of times. It can be the worst of times, too. Middle school happens at that tumultuous time in life when one's not a teenager and not a little kid. Middle school means being a middle-aged kid. Expectations-from teachers, parents, friends, siblings-can all change dramatically, causing worry and concern even for the most laid-back student. The Middle School Survival Guide covers every issue, inside school and out, from the most trivial concerns to the most serious issues that middle school students face today. Arlene Erlbach has assembled a teen advisory board of 200 kids between fifth and tenth grade who give advice about topics from cracking a locker combination, to dealing with multiple teachers, to sex and dating.

High School Survival Guide by Vanessa P. Girard Pdf

A transition guide to prepare students socially and culturally for the high school experience. Individual chapters provide insights and exercises to help students cope with diversity and its inherent themes of self-esteem/identity, stereotyping, perception and oppression. Truancy is a major challenge with middle and high school students. This challenge is secondary to growing attitudes of apathy and nihilism, which may be a direct result of feelings of being unprepared and culturally incompetent. This book is designed to address these challenges by helping students to build healthy self-esteem through identifying similarities and respecting differences across cultures (cliques, high school vs middle school, ethnic, etc.) and to develop a sense of purpose. A confident student with a purpose is more likely to attend class and apply him or herself. Additionally, this book is designed to support the teacher, promote education, define and build self-esteem, discourage stereotyping, and teach students to investigate the big picture before drawing conclusions or forming an opinion through awareness of the complexities of perception. It is a tool that promotes a positive outlook while sneaking in learning in the process. Dr. Vanessa Girard is a Creole, born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She and her siblings struggled with identity throughout adolescence, being teased by their African American brother-in-law that they didn't "have a flag." Her work with a Native American tribe in Arizona sparked a passion to learn about mono-cultural perspectives, with hopes that the quest would lead her to self-discovery. She found that her multiethnic heritage has provided her with an extraordinaryability to empathize and relate across races, and in that realization, she feels more accepted by others. "I am not Black, or White, or Hispanic, or Native American; I am all of them and that's okay!" Dr. Girard has worked in the field of education for 15 years in various capacities, as a teacher, dean of students, community educator and assistant director of education. She possesses a B.A. in Education from Arizona State University, and an M.A. in Education and a Doctorate in Management and Organizational Leadership from the University of Phoenix. "At my school we.are reading.about your life and you talk about our future. I am really happy to be learning about you and your accomplishments; what you have accomplished makes me want to do the best I can do in school, life, and my future. I just wanted to let you know that I am truly impressed and inspired by what you've said in this book.you have said things in your book that most parents and/or adults don't even remember or understand; it's like you still know how hard it is to be a kid/teen. And with other things that are going on these days you even understand more. You taught me and my classmates the meaning of enjoying what I have right now before it all passes you by, but [to] be careful of [our] decisions." -- Michelle Mercado, 13-year-old student, Chandler, AZ "I believe the information provided in this book to be of value for every student and teacher of any ethnicity or demographic. At a time when our schools are suffering increases in truancy and dropout rates, this book offers a much needed resource to assist students.it is sincere and bolsters positive outlooks and behaviors." -- Rep. Ben Miranda, AZ House ofRepresentatives "Skyline has been really happy to present this author's views in our school. She speaks the language that students need to hear and in the way they want to listen to." -- Ronda Owens, M.Ed., Superintendent, Skyline K-12 Schools, AZ

Written to help parents understand what their children need to know before they start kindergarten, this volume, bound separately in English and Spanish, is intended to help parents become their children's best, as well as their first and most important, teachers. The first part of the book, the before school checklist, is divided into eight sections, each about different skills children need to know.

The second part of the book, a guide for parents, shows parents how to help their children learn the things they need to know. This part is also divided into eight sections that show simple things parents can do at home, or anywhere, without special equipment or materials, on a daily basis. Following an introduction that offers parents general guidelines for helping their children, the guide covers the skills listed in the before school checklist in eight sections. A final section discusses why the parent is always the most important person in a child's education. (TJQ)

Help! My Child Is Starting Middle School! by Jerry Parks Pdf

"The transition from elementary to middle school can be a scary time for both students and their parents. Dr. Parks's book is real-life advice from a master teacher that will address most of your concerns." Tommy Hurt Principal,Georgetown Middle School. Georgetown, KY "An excellent handbook which parents of every new middle schooler should read, and reread with their son or daughter as they begin these formative and impressionable years of middle school. Herein are the keys to success."Dr. Dallas Blankenship Superintendent,Scott Co. Public Schools Parents are seldom-if ever-prepared for the enormous changes their child faces entering middle school. The sheltered, structured, and nurturing environment that is elementary school gives way to the fast-paced, organized chaos of middle school. Students often feel more thrown into, rather than eased into, the middle school world, and parents of first-time middle schoolers often feel more lost than their children. The sixth grade is the time when Mom and Dad start to feel they are losing their little one forever, and-in a very real sense-they are. Help! My Child is Starting Middle School! is merely an effort to help parents and their children get off to a successful start in middle school. Although primarily written for parents, portions of the book can be read and used by middle schoolers themselves. At the end of each chapter are presented numerous real-world middle school situations, which may very well occur. As these are read, parents should consider how they might address the situations, and then discuss with their child their thoughts, and how they might deal with alternatives. In discussing these together, both parent and middle schooler will be better prepared for what's coming in middle school.
