Honoring the Past; Looking to the Future

Middle Section member Johnston traces the history of the Middle Section, from the growing acknowledgment that middle level teachers had specific needs and concerns that had to be addressed to voting for the Section’s establishment to presenting at the NCTE Annual Convention with a student who had once considered himself to be a non-reader. He urges readers to get involved and to reap the benefits’ for them, for their students, and for the Section’ of exchanging ideas, experiences, and dreams.
