Middle School Matter Institute’s conference session: Succeeding with School Improvement in the Middle Grades
Our ultimate goal is to increase the number of students well-prepared for high school and post-secondary success. We do this by drawing upon solid research to develop practical tools and engaging support opportunities for middle-grade campuses, allowing research-based practices to be brought to life in classrooms across the nation.
Middle School Matters offers free support to teachers and school leaders looking to implement research-based strategies into their schools and classrooms. We are available to help you find specific resources and lessons that are aligned with your curriculum.
