MAKING MIDDLE GRADES WORK

Columbiana Middle School is a Making Middle Grades Work (MMGW) school. MMGW schools focus on improving learning by creating learning environments which provide rigorous academic core courses, foster supportive relationships between students and adults, offer teacher advisors who help students and parents set academic goals, and whose leadership supports teachers by providing common planning time and professional development aligned with the school's improvement plan and the MMGW framework.
