Can anyone recommend books, resources, websites/articles that will help me set up a new 6,7,8th grade Language Arts resource classroom? I am a new middle school resource teacher. I do have experience with regular ed and special ed elementary students, but middle school is new to me. [/b]
Middle School Resource Advice
I thought the information concerning older students on your website was really helpful! I agree with you about students needing structure in their classrooms. I would like more information on appropriate behavioral strategies to use with students in middle school and some ideas about planning my first day (and week) of school, if anyone would like to share. Thanks!

check out The Tough Kid Toolbox - they have great whole group and individual management tools for middle school kids (and they don’t have to be “tough kids” to benefit from it.
Structure structure structure :)
WHen I started w/ middle schoolers I was very surprised at how much they really wanted me to be in charge.
I’ve got a bunch of stuff on my site — see the signautre.
