National Middle School Leadership Institute

This week I have been attending the NMSA Leadership Institute - this has been a wonderful professional development experience. It is nice to be in a room with 200 other middle school people talking about the issues that adolescent children face and getting new ideas about how to do things. This weeks institute has focused heavily on Advisory, Formative Assessment, and Parent Engagement - 3 very important things. I am looking forward to getting back and meeting with our PTA President and generating some ideas around parent information, parent volunteering, and parent engagement!
