This book is intended for prospective secondary teachers,
university education and human development faculty and students,
and in-service secondary school teachers. The text focuses on the
current environment of adolescents. Physical growth, sexuality,
nutrition, exercise, and substance abuse receive attention. Social
development depends on consideration of advice given by peers and
adults. Neuroscience insights are reported on information
processing, attention and distraction. Detection of cheating, cyber
abuse, and parental concerns are considered. Career exploration
issues are discussed. Visual intelligence, creative thinking, and
Internet learning are presented with ways to help students gauge
risks, manage stress, and acquire resilience. Peers become the most
prominent influence on social development during adolescence, and
they recognize the Internet as their greatest resource for locating
information. Teachers want to know how to unite these powerful
sources of learning, peers and the Internet, to help adolescents
acquire teamwork skills employers will expect of them. This goal is
achieved by implementing Collaboration Integration Theory. Ten
Cooperative Learning Exercises and Roles (CLEAR) at the end of
chapters allow each student to choose one role per chapter.
Insights gained from these roles are shared with teammates before
work is submitted to the teacher. This approach enables students to
select assignments, expands group learning, and makes everyone
accountable for instruction. The adult teacher role becomes more
creative as they design exercises and roles that differentiate team
learning. Using Zoom or other platforms a teacher can observe or
record cooperative team sharing. Involvement with CLEAR can enable
prospective teachers to apply this system to empower their
secondary students.
