Virtue  \nWestern Carolina University  \nAbstract  \nThis article highlights an upcoming multi-phase, international comparative research study on  \nhigher education institution-based programs that prepare teachers of young adolescents. The  \npurpose of this investigation is multifaceted. The investigators aim to (a) document the  \nprogrammatic and pedagogical features of higher education institution-based programs that  \nprepare teachers of young adolescents in diverse national, regional, cultural, and institutional  \ncontexts; (b) identify and describe relationships between higher education institution-based  \nprograms that prepare teachers of young adolescents and the socio-cultural, historical, and  \ninstitutional contexts in which they are embedded; (c) identify and describe patterns of  \nphilosophy, programming, and practice evident across higher education institution-based  \nprograms that prepare teachers of young adolescents; (d) assess the extent to which higher  \neducation institution-based programs that prepare teachers of young adolescents operating in  \ndiverse contexts are aligned with the AMLE’s Middle Level Teacher Preparation Standards; and  \n(e) investigate relationships among higher education institution-based programs’ design  \nelements, contexts, implementation processes, and outcomes that prepare teachers of young  \nadolescents.  \nYoung adolescents (YAs, ages 10-15) undergo physical, social-emotional, cognitive, psychological, and moral developmental changes (Caskey & Anfara, 2014) that occur when they attend middle school, junior secondary school, or its equivalent. The Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE), an international organization that advocates for YA education, calls for schools to be developmentally responsive, challenging, empowering, and equitable, the four essential attributes of successful schools (NMSA, 2010) . AMLE defines developmentally  \nresponsive as,“using the nature of young adolescents as the foundation on which all decisions  \nare made”(NMSA, 2010, p. 13) . Further, one of the 16 characteristics for educating YAs is  \n“educators who value YAs and are prepared to teach them”(NMSA, 2010, p. 13) .  \nUnderstanding the uniqueness of th","cbCaihv1MaShpQxx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihv1MaShpQxx","pdf",87348,"English","# Abstract\n## Purpose and research scope\n## Context and standards alignment\n## Programs, design, implementation, and outcomes","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the proposed study?\",\"answer\":\"To conduct a multi-phase international comparative investigation of higher education institution-based programs that prepare teachers of young adolescents.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors are the study intended to document and compare?\",\"answer\":\"Programmatic and pedagogical features across diverse national, regional, cultural, and institutional contexts are to be documented and compared.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the research evaluate program alignment?\",\"answer\":\"It will assess the extent to which these teacher preparation programs align with the AMLE’s Middle Level Teacher Preparation Standards.\"}]","Current Issues in Middle Level Education - Vol. 25 - Issue 1 - Article 2 | PDF",1792089822,15]
