Frustration Busters
By: Katie Powell “This book is dedicated to all the educators who have shown up—even on the hard days, who have done their best to put students first, who have supported their colleagues, who have given compassion in ample measure, and have shared readily of their well-stocked candy drawers. This book is also dedicated to those who have struggled with whether to stay in the profession, who have sat at their desks with the lights off at the end of a class and wondered if they can make it through the rest of the day, who have found themselves with compassion fatigue in real measure, and have eaten their candy drawer in its entirety. This job isn’t easy. But it’s important. I sure don’t have all the answers, but I know a few things: We are better together. It’s OK to be not OK sometimes. We’ll keep trying because our students deserve the best.” ~Katie Powell, p.1~

Middle School: A Place to Belong & Become
By: Laurie Barron & Patti Kinney We’ve found a common denominator in our work—a thread that ties together concerns of students, effective middle level practices, and young adolescent development. That common factor is the profound need and desire for young adolescents to find places where they feel they can belong and can discover who they are and who they want to become.
