Not a Stage! Kartoniert (TB)

Not a Stage! is written for teachers students and scholars interested in the academic social and emotional needs of young adolescents. It is unique because it actively resists basing the practice research and theory of young adolescent education on developmentalism and the developmental stage of young adolescence. The purpose of this book is to begin to reorient the discourse on young adolescent growth and change and in turn reconceptualize the education of young adolescents. The book infuses a contingent recursive conception of adolescent growth and change into the discourse around you ng adolescence by making three pleas to those interested in the schooling of young adolescents: to move away from a developmentally responsive vision to a contingently and recursively relational vision to move from «characterizing» young adolescenCE to «particularizing» young adolescenTS and to move from a «sameness» curriculum to a «difference» curriculum.
