#Resources from AMLE20
I am still going through the many great resources and sessions that were a part of #AMLE20, and will be sharing a few each week. First up, the book that served as a basis for much of the programming.
The fifth edition of This We Believe, now titled The Successful Middle School, is now available. This can be used as a source for PD, a reference for crafting a mission and vision, or as a text for middle-level courses. Registrants of #AMLE20 received copies. For more information or to order, you can find these one-pagers on the AMLE website, or get a preview of the book from Rick Wormeli below.Why Do I Like This Video?
