An empowering guide for parents and teachers seeking a positive, practical alternative to the confusion and struggles of middle school.A must-read for anyone who has a tween or works with tweens. - Madeline Levine, New York Times bestselling author of The Price of Privilege and Ready or NotHow can parents stay close with their children through middle school?

Educators will learn about the developmental keys to making middle school a place of belonging, with deep social and emotional learning and academics that draw out students' full motivation and potential.Praise for Finding the Magic in Middle SchoolI love Finding the Magic in Middle School - as a parent of tweens, an educator, and a school design innovator.
