The Adolescent Literacy KnowledgeBase : Element 4 : Activity 3 : Task 2: Middle to High School
Adolescence is a journey of transitions through early, middle, and late stages. Through each stage, the adolescent deals with aspects of physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Possessing an awareness of these transitions enables educators to assist adolescent students with navigating these transitions as they move from middle to high school.
