IEE is now offering a micro-credential series, called a stack, aimed at improving the skills, knowledge, and practices of middle school educators. The “Mastering Middle School Young Adolescent Development” series supports educators as they explore the unique needs and characteristics of young adolescents. Once educators are able to differentiate the needs of students ages 10-15 from elementary students and high school students, they understand why traditional primary and secondary approaches are not effective for middle school students.

Practitioners examine and develop practices and systems which meet the unique demands of middle-grades students through additional micro-credential courses offered in the stack.
