And I know for many of us, 2020 just didn't actually happen.

It's this weird blip in time.

So it feels like five minutes ago.

But yes, the book came out about a year and a half ago.

And the genesis for that book, I do work in a K-8 now.

But when I started writing Middle School Matters, it was on the heels of working in a very, very large public six through eight middle school.

And

And I showed up all bushy-tailed and bright-eyed, excited to work with middle schoolers, and realized it was this entirely different universe.

I had been in the elementary school setting.

I had been in the high school setting.

I thought I was going to have no problem with that middle-aged tween group.

And I immediately understood that this was different.

This was a different species.

They had unique needs.

They had unique challenges.

It was a very distinct set of...

just complex challenges and things that I needed to address.

And so I went to the literature.

I wanted to do my homework.

I wanted to see what kind of research had been done on kids that age, what other maybe school counselors had written about the topic, and discovered that there was almost nothing out there about middle school.
