North Carolina Middle School Association Journal Online!

We are proud to announce that the new edition (volume 22, number 1), of the North Carolina Middle School Journal is now online! We have moved the Journal to an online format, and we hope you'll like the convenience of being able to print multiple copies of articles that you'd like to share with your colleagues. In addition, there are tremendous savings in printing and postage that will enable us to keep our membership rates low.
The articles in the Journal are printed in Adobe PDF format. Most computers already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, but if for some reason yours does not, you can download it for free at www.adobe.com

Welcome to the North Carolina Middle School Association (NCMSA) web site. We are a statewide organization devoted for three decades to promoting the very best educational programs and services for young adolescents. Our goals are to accelerate the rate of middle grades reform in our state in order to provide an education for each child that is academically excellent, meets his or her needs, and is socially equitable. To meet these goals, we share information among middle level schools, serve as an advocacy group for middle level education, support and conduct research studies, provide relevant resource materials, sponsor state and regional conferences, and offer professional development activities.
