Now that I look at this poster and based on the comment that Stephen left on the other, I may consider changing the girl to someone who looks older. Also thinking back to class discussions, I think this could possibly work in a series of posters (same message different student on each)
I really like the look of your poster! It is very concise and has a very cute picture. Even though I love the picture of the little girl, I would have to agree with you that she does look kind of young. Nice job!
Fantastic, very professional looking. Makes you want to look at the poster. Would changing the girl to someone older have the same effect on the viewer? How about a group of students pointing up to the chalk board?
This looks awesome Brad! My only suggestion would be to see what the Middle Matters description looks like centered? I only say this because the contact part is also centered and it might flow nicely.
Matt, when I was creating the image i thought about the emotional connection that I was trying to make with the target audience. I thought about placing a teacher, career image, etc... but I felt that the image of a child has a deeper emotional connection than that of an adult. I wanted the image to see as if the child was in need of you (the viewer) in order to be successful. Now after thinking about it, I may leave the little girl in the poster. I don't think an oder child would have the effect.
I may consider creating this poster in a series with a different child in each poster to make a connection with other demographics.
Brad, really nice work! I have a couple of small suggestions that should make it even stronger. First, change the angle of the "middle matters" text to match the angle of the chalkboard. Not only would this change echo the angle of the chalkboard, but it would echo the angle of the girl's leg. Second, your text is awfully close to the edge of the green text box. I would move it down somewhat. Third, I would play with the size and spacing of the text. For example, if you keep the current sized text, it looks like you could move the word "teacher" up to the next line to space it more evenly. Third, I would try to match the color of the text box more closely to the color of the chalkboard, which is more desaturated (grayer) and a little lighter in value. The age of the girl doesn't really bother me. I have seen middle schoolers who look that young. Finally, if the image is not your own, you need to cite it.
This is the revised version. On the other I had the title wrong. Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Good suggestion Kendra!
