» Joe Bruzzese - Middle School Tips
Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences with Middle School parents. As a parent of two children and educator/coach to a few thousand more over the years, I can honestly say that sharing experiences during these years comes as great relief to many of us. I think we may have something to share with each other.
I am currently writing a book, The Start Smart Guide to Middle School for Parents and Kids (working title). Essentially the book is organized into three parts: 3 weeks leading up to the start of the school year, the first 6 weeks of school from day 1 to progress reports, and finally, the 3 weeks from progress report to the first quarter report card.
Although I am the primary author driving the book, many of the contributions come from both parents and kids currently in middle school as well as questions from both groups who are making the leap this coming year.
If you would like to talk more about sharing your ideas we would love to hear them. You can contact me either via email, joe@thinking-forward.com or by phone 805-889-2142.
One final contact point is our blog, located at www.thinking-forward.com. We introduced the book project on our blog and have received incredible response from parents, kids, and educators who want to contribute.
Regards,
Joe
