AMLE25 Special Strands

At the crossroads, we’re grappling with some of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing middle grades schools today. In addition to our traditional topic strands, AMLE invites presenters to submit on three special strands that will be featured at AMLE25.

AI in the Middle Grades

This strand of sessions explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into middle level education and aims to equip educators with the knowledge and tools to integrate AI responsibly and effectively into middle grade classrooms, enhancing both teaching methods and student engagement.

Career Exploration in the Middle Grades

This strand of sessions is dedicated to strategies for introducing career awareness and exploration in the middle grades with a goal of inspiring middle school students to think about their future careers, understand the education and skills required, and begin to make informed decisions about their educational journey.

Healthy, Happy Kids

This strand focuses on promoting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of students with a goal of fostering school environments where students can thrive not just academically but also in their personal growth, leading to a generation of well-rounded, healthy, and happy individuals.

Feedback from past attendees

5/5
"I have and will continue to share that AMLE is one of the best, if not the best, conference I have attended in my 40+ years in education."
5/5
"The huge variety of relevant topics for today's educators is the biggest reason I would recommend attending the AMLE conference."
5/5
“The conference was fantastic; it was exceptionally organized, and all the sessions that I attended were excellent.”
5/5
"I had a great experience and made some great teacher contacts from across the country. Definitely worth the time to attend."
5/5
“There were a variety of topics presented and for different levels of teachers (newbies to seasoned) and administrators! I ESPECIALLY appreciate the slides, pdf, and resources presenters were willing to share. All super helpful!”
5/5
“I have been to many conferences, but none that involved a community solely focused on the middle grades. It was so uplifting to be seen and heard by fellow educators from around the country and to swap ideas and beliefs about how to reach our students. I am going away with so much knowledge and a renewed vigor for my practices.”
