Middle-Level Programs
Starting in the Middle
The Association of Washington Student Leaders offers many programs designed specifically for middle-level students. “Middle-Level” is used to refer to students in grades 6 through 9 that are attending a middle school, junior high, or as part of a secondary school.
Each and every offering is centered around the AWSL Goals and Objectives, which have been built upon the AWSP Framework and the Washington State Social Emotional Learning Standards.

Curriculum and Publications
In the fall of 2018, AWSL completed the rewriting and updating our three signature publications for Elementary, Middle School, and High School leadership instruction with the publication of the second edition of Starting in the Middle: Leadership Lessons for Middle-Level Students. With this accomplishment, AWSL has updated all of its core leadership curriculum and resources for new classroom technologies, the migration of social interaction to phones and computers, and for more inclusive language and culturally aware approaches to the leadership lessons of the past that have withstood the test of time. Included are the old standbys we’ve all gotten to know and trust, updated with two decades of feedback and innovation on best practices, as well as new leadership lessons to meet the ever-evolving world of student leadership and our larger social context.
See our Publications page for further information and order forms for all of our publications.
