Nina was invited to present at the Association for Middle Level Education Conference which was held in Orlando, Florida at the end of October. Nina led several round table discussions which were designed to allow educators to learn about the implemented Peer Leadership program that has been very successful for the last few years in Lewis F. Cole Middle School. Educators were afforded an opportunity to ask questions about the program. Nina was able to share her personal experiences and provided additional information about Peer Leadership programs. Nina did such a great job, she’s been invited to attend again next year.
