Moreover, with advanced high school graduation plans, middle schools have witnessed an impetus to move other courses such as health, algebra, and technology education onto their campuses to provide more advanced options to students as they move into high school (Harris, 2011; National Middle School Association, 2003; Wormeli, 2011). keywords: analysis; assessment; campus; data; ela; grade; high; instruction; middle; reading; school; students; year cache: cieatasu-1265.pdf plain text: cieatasu-1265.txt item: #3 of 139 id: cieatasu-1267 author: Bartelheim, Frederick J; Conn, Daniel R title: Secondary Pre-service Teachers' Perceptions of an Ideal Classroom Environment date: 2014-11-23 words: 5625 flesch: 47 summary: Keywords: classroom environment, secondary pre-service teachers, classroom perceptions, field experiences The classroom environment is often considered a predictor of students’ academic achievement and school satisfaction (Pickett & Fraser, 2010; Fraser, 2007).
