The middle grades are an especially significant era in the education of youth. Emerging adolescents become increasingly curious about the surrounding world - becoming aware of new issues, looking at familiar things differently and expanding their ideas. Students typically raise urgent questions about the way things are, examining adult values and assumptions in ways that make curriculum design particularly challenging to teachers.

Originally published as a special issue of the Middle School Journal, this book presents integrative curriculum as a foundational element of the middle school. By addressing the current gap in literature on curriculum integration in the middle grades, this text explores how learning can be organized around authentic concepts or questions which cut across disciplines and speak to young adolescents. Providing a current, nuanced, and comprehensive review of what it means to embrace and implement an interdisciplinary and integrative curriculum, the volume considers how educators can create and deliver a high-quality integrative curriculum which is enjoyable, challenging, and inclusive. Examples of implementation in teacher preparation programs and middle grade classrooms showcase integrative approaches and illustrate how curricula have been key in tackling social inequities, increasing engagement with STEM, and supporting collaboration. This text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, academics and libraries in the field of Middle School Education, Curriculum Studies, Teacher Education, Theories of Learning, and STEM Education.

An examination of the issues surrounding the concept of change is fundamental to curriculum improvement for elementary and middle schools.

Chapters are: (1) "The Process of Curriculum Development"; (2) "A Rationale for Curriculum Integration"; (3) "The Curriculum Continuum: Moving Where You Need To Be"; (4) "Integrated Studies for Multi-Age Classrooms: Solon Elementary School, Maine"; (5) "Hand-Crafting an Integrated Curriculum: Timothy Edwards Middle School: South Windsor, Connecticut"; (6) "One District's Perspective: Staff Development Stimulates Curriculum Integration: Blue Valley, Kansas"; (7) "First Steps toward Curriculum Integration: Using Student Questions: Ashland Middle School, Maine"; (8) "Twenty Years Later: Multidisciplinary to Integrated Units: McKelvie Middle School, Bedford, New Hampshire"; (9) "Interdisciplinary Study in a Technology Education Class: Garland Street Middle School, Bangor, Maine"; (10) "Pushing the Envelope: What Curriculum Integration Can Be: Brown Barge Middle School, Pensacola, Florida"; (11) "The Curriculum Planning Process: More than Interdisciplinary Units"; and (12) "Reflections--What We Have Learned from These Schools."

In 1998, Education Ministry of Japan announced the enactment of the periods of the Integrated Studies (IS) at all public school levels. The IS is defined as interdisciplinary, project-oriented learning activities which aim to promote students' problem-solving abilities and self-learning skills. In spite of teachers' active involvement in the development of various educational activities for the periods, research indicated that teachers faced various barriers to implementing the IS. Generally, the middle school teachers were unsupportive to the IS due to their lack of resources for the curriculum development. Despite the constraints, how was the IS implemented in the middle schools? What kind of roles did the IS take in the curriculum? How did the teachers view the constraints to their implementation of the IS? By taking "adaptation" perspective for educational policy implementation (McLaughlin, 1976b), this study examined the realities of the middle schools' implementation of the IS based on a multiple case study of three middle schools in Osaka. This study analyzed the data from my five months of field research in the schools, which included interviews with the teachers, observation of the teachers' implementation of the IS, survey of the teachers as well as collection of school documents. The research findings are summarized as following. First, the analysis showed the IS periods assured the room for the schools' autonomous development of projects with specific sociocivic themes and increased the opportunities for various new learning styles (e.g., self-inquiry, presentation, and various hands-on activities). However, a large part of the IS periods was utilized for the schools' existing practices like career guidance or school events reflecting the middle schools' needs on sustaining its traditional curriculum. Consequently, the space for new learning styles was dispersed across the three years' curriculum, and tended to decrease in the higher grade. Finally, the comparison of the three schools sheds light on the difference of the attitudes to the implementation of the IS across the schools. The analysis attributed this difference to some factors including shared pedagogy of the IS, longitudinal experience of collaboration, organizational context like school-size, and the degree of students' behavioral problems.
