GCA Unmuted: Bridging the Gap - Middle Grades in a Virtual World

Описание: In our third episode of GCA Unmuted, we continue to move through the grade levels, this time exploring middle grade bands and the unique academic and social needs of students in this in-between stage. Harold Wisner, a veteran middle grades educator, discusses why middle school is such a critical period for building relationships, trust, and engagement, especially as students navigate rapid developmental and emotional changes.

The episode highlights practical strategies for supporting middle grade students through strong teacher-student connections, consistent communication, and collaboration between school and home. Wisner emphasizes that intentional support within middle grade bands helps students feel seen, supported, and better prepared for long term success.
