Join the free Middle Level Summit and the Western Pennsylvania Leadership Collaborative on October 23, 2026, at Ryan Gloyer Middle School in the Seneca Valley School District for a high-impact day focused exclusively on the unique needs of today’s middle level students and educators. Nationally recognized middle level expert, author, and humorist Jack Berckemeyer will headline the event, bringing his research-based, practical, and engaging approach to understanding adolescents, strengthening classroom practices, and building effective middle school teams. The Summit will also feature district team breakout sessions specifically designed for middle level educators and administrators, along with timely strategies and best practices addressing current trends in instruction, student mental health and well-being, assessment, teaming, and middle level leadership. It will be an opportunity for entire district teams to learn together, collaborate with colleagues from across the region, and leave with practical ideas they can immediately put into action.
