Resources for Effective Health and Well-Being Practices in the Middle Grades

Educators and researchers confirm that young adolescents' health and well-being directly impacts their academic progress. Yet, those with a vested interest in educating young adolescent learners have few explicit resources to guide them through the implementation of programs or practices that support the health and well-being of young adolescent learners, their teachers, or school.

Resources for Effective Health and Well-Being Practices in the Middle Grades provides school leaders, teachers, academics, and teacher candidates with evidence-based examples of the successful implementation of health and well-being programs or practices--ones that focus explicitly on the needs of young adolescent learners and/or their teachers or school leaders. Specifically, this book provides a collection of examples from the field that describe 'how' to implement a range of individual, class, whole school, or teacher focused programs.
