NMSA 36th Annual Conference & Exhibit

NMSA09 • November 5–7, 2009
Indianapolis, Indiana

Plan now to attend the largest and most comprehensive middle level professional development opportunity in the world!

On behalf of the staff and Board of Trustees of National Middle School Association, we cordially invite you to join more than 8,000 of your peers in Making a World of Difference by attending our 36th Annual Conference and Exhibit. Indiana educators: Take advantage of the staff development waiver offered by the Indiana DOE.

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.
