Students would then have a seperate teacher for Science, Social Studies, and Math. We are very interested in not using a textbook, but doing novel studies, and small group instruction. Within that model however, what do you think is most important for middle school students to get in terms of whole group instruction? Thanks so much for the advice & resources! ~Stephanie Bartell --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
