Supporting the goals and ideals of "National Middle-Level Education Month".

Support for National Middle-Level Education Month would call attention to the unique needs of students aged 10 to 15 (grades 5 through 10) and the educators who teach them. The resolution highlights that more than 18 million young adolescents are engaged in school, cites neuroscience showing this stage shapes lifelong habits, notes that eighth-grade achievement affects later college readiness and that middle-level education faces a "missing middle" in Federal funding, and it encourages Americans to engage with and celebrate middle-grade schools.
