CMLA: Collegiate Middle Level Association

Are you interested in middle-level education or teaching young adolescents in grades 5 through 9? The Collegiate Middle Level Association is a professional community of college students preparing to become middle school educators. At NKU, upon admission to the teacher preparation program, all middle grades majors are automatically enrolled in CMLA and become student members of the Association for Middle Level Education, an international association dedicated to helping middle school educators "reach every student, grow professionally, and create great schools." Members can access free and reduced-priced online resources, attend webinars and workshops, and read the latest research in one of AMLEs journals. For questions about about CMLA/AMLE or other middle grades education activities, contact Dr. Shawn Faulkner at faulkners1@nku.edu.
