The ASCD Middle Grades Community is organized to facilitate opportunities for the interested educators and researchers to promote innovation within middle grades education. Our members will use electronic means (e-mail and website home page, electronic bulletin board) and the newsletter mailing to create opportunities for continuing discussion and dialogue regarding innovative practice, research finds and self-renewal. There is no cost for membership. Add your name to our mailing list with a request to Alfred Arth - aarth@york.edu
