Middle level education is at the center of research and discussions around student success, and we all must be part of those conversations. From the Robert Balfanz/Johns Hopkins research on the sixth grade indicators of student success and connections to dropout prevention to the recent ACT research on the critical connection between eighth grade education and student success in college and in the world of work, middle level education is highlighted as essential. NMSA09 will provide you the opportunity to learn, to share, and to connect.
