Thank you for your interest in the Remaking Middle School Listening Tour! 
 
Remaking Middle School is an initiative of Youth-Nex, The UVA Center to Promote Effective Youth Development. With powerful research on positive youth development, Youth-Nex is seeking to ignite conversation, action, and a movement to re-envision and remake the middle school experience in a way that recognizes the strengths of all young adolescents. Middle school can both reflect the developmental changes that youth experience—and reinforce their strengths: autonomy, creative thinking, innovation, and activism, to name a few.

The RMS Listening Tour is seeking perspectives from the following groups:
  • A parent of a child in grades 5-8
  • A teacher of grades 5-8
  • An administrator of grades 5-8
  • A youth development professional that works with grades 5-8
  • A policy maker who focuses on grades 5-8
  • Someone who advocates for students in grades 5-8

Please take a few minutes to complete this interest questionnaire. At the end of the questionnaire, you may continue your participation in the research study via a 3-question survey and/or sign up for a Zoom or phone interview with a member of the Youth-Nex team.

If you are a student and would like to share your perspective about middle school with our team, please have your parent or guardian contact us via email at youth-nex@virginia.edu or via phone at 434-924-7640.
