Abstract
Who succeeds in middle school? Why? Burke had identified 4 areas that seem to address the answer to that question: Commitment, Content, Competencies, Capacities. When formal standards appear unconnected or inflexible, ask yourself if your current activity is furthering a goal in one or more of these categories. The answer will either affirm your instructional decisions or give you the impetus to revise your plan.
