If you could go back to being a middle schooler, would you? I would not. However, after working for 18 years with this age group, have found this is a tremendous time period with a plethora of opportunities to teach through failure and hardship. The logic stage is a time when children begin to test the boundaries and formulate how to interact with others, while testing their newfound intellectual musings. This workshop will be theological, philosophical and practical on how to build a middle school culture during these opportunistic years.
