A behavioral, social, and emotional mini-curriculum designed for ALL future middle school students!
Middle School U provides 10 strategies to help students reduce emotional anxiety, improve social awareness, and minimize misbehaviors as they transition from elementary school to middle school. These strategies are tied to the CASEL framework and John Hattie's influences on student achievement.
About Us
Middle School U was created by a group of elementary and middle school teachers, counselors, principals and middle school students and parents. They demonstrated a commitment to refining the transition process for elementary students so they can thrive as they adjust to life at the middle school level.
Middle School U was founded by Dr. Nicholas Morgan in 2023. Nick has experience as a fourth grade teacher, elementary assistant principal, and elementary principal. The elementary school where Dr. Morgan is the principal was named a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School because of initiatives like Middle School U! Through the Kansas School Redesign process a professional learning community (PLC) was formed and Middle School U was developed, piloted, enhanced, and implemented with overwhelming success.
