Breaking Ranks in the Middle

Next week I will be attending the Breaking Ranks in the Middle Train the Trainer sessions that will be held in Williamsburg. The National Middle School Association promotes this program in the following way:
Breaking Ranks in the Middle training aims to build additional leadership capacity in middle level school leaders and their teams taking the challenge of middle school reform. The training offers participants the tools and strategies to address and deal with the unique challenges facing middle level leadership including personalization, advisories, teaming, transition from elementary and transition to high school, use of data and other critical topics.
I am really looking forward to this training as an opportunity to learn even more about middle level leadership as well as meet leadership from all over the state. When I return to MEH I will be trained as a trainer and able to do this training with the staff as well. NMSA is a wonderful organization who puts for professional development and literature that is based in years of research and application.
