About Us

A site for educators, http://www.middleschool.net™, has been developed and is administered by Judy Horn, an instructional technology, principal specialist with the Governor's Best Practice Center of the Virginia Department of Education. Judy decided to provide support to middle school educators via this web site. In seeking funding for the endeavor many opportunities were researched. The mission of Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) was one that best matched the philosophy and site goals that were established for MiddleSchool.Net ™. In 1998-99 an initial grant was obtained from ASCD (1 of the 5 awarded that year) that enabled the development of this site. The grant was again awarded for the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 school years. This site is one of fifty-three member networks affiliated with the official (ASCD) Networks Program. You are encourage to visit the ASCD website to see what services are available for ASCD members.
