Breaking Ranks in the Middle Executive Summary

Building on the success of Breaking Ranks II: Strategies for Leading High School Reform, NASSP has issued a middle level counterpart, Breaking Ranks in the Middle: Strategies for Leading Middle Level Reform.

The nine strategies and 30 recommendations that form the core of Breaking Ranks in the Middle are similar to those in Breaking Ranks II, but are grounded in the middle school philosophy. A commission of middle level practitioners and experts had an active hand in developing the book, which includes a number of full-length profiles and vignettes of schools that put the recommendations in action.
