Create School Reform Utilizing the Schools to Watch: Essential Elements

Schools across the nation utilize the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform, Schools to Watch program to improve the middle-level outcomes for students.  The program is rooted in four domains, 1. Academic Excellence, 2. Developmental Responsiveness, 3. Social Equity and 4. Organizational Structures.  For resources and more information visit, www.middlegradesreform.org.   

New York State supports the Schools to Watch program through the 7 Essential Elements of Standards Focused Middle-Level Schools and Programs. We encourage you to visit the New York State Middle School Association website at www.nysmsa.org and reach out to Long Island School's that have been designated as EE:STW schools.  I promise that this is a rewarding journey for everyone involved.
