ELMLE - The Musical: Find your Part
Great news! Registration for the #ELMLELondon conference is now OPEN! Learn more about the Pre-Conference Sessions, Featured Speakers, and Hotel and Travel Information at the links.
Join us in spectacular London Town for our 38th annual conference January 25-27, 2024. This year we’ll go all in for ELMLE - The Musical! Our theme speaks to the idea that each of us plays an important role at our schools; we each bring particular strengths, and we want to explore the many ways an ensemble comes together to bring the opus that is “the middle school experience” to life. We know that part of the magic of middle school is that it’s a place where we belong, and it takes all of us to make the production work. Come and be part of the ELMLE cast and crew as we explore our creative, collaborative, and technical roles -- essential elements of the big show! Let’s continue our professional learning around supporting our students and fostering the ultimate middle school experience!

The votes are in, and the winning logo designers for our #ELMLELondon conference are Jaxon Batty and Jill Geib, two 6th graders at Frankfurt International School. They'll receive an Amazon gift certificate (and eternal fame)! Their nominated teacher will receive a complimentary Pre-Conference registration to #ELMLELondon.
In this real-world learning experience, students were asked to include the theme of the conference, as well as a visual representation of London, our host city. As part of the design brief, they were provided with the HEX codes for the ELMLE colors and a vector copy of the official ELMLE logo to incorporate into the design. The ELMLE Steering Committee received more than 45 entries!

What Our Teachers Say
“I am still beaming from the incredible experience I had in Porto. You and the committee should be commended on a fantastic agenda, venue, hospitality, and planning. No detail was missed. And the Gala…..just wow, wow, wow. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the speakers as well.”
"Thank you for making the registration so easy and for organising such interesting and helpful online learning events."
"It's such a welcoming, supportive community of MS educators, and I appreciated being able to make connections to other people who work in middle school...A perfect size to interact and work with fellow educators."
"I left feeling inspired with renewed determination. I enjoyed the entire conference, from lectures to networking...the amazing culture of friendliness, collaboration, great humour, fabulous people."
"It was lovely to have reflection and planning time to set goals...great balance in terms of topics between well-being, multilingualism, leadership, and sexuality education."
"I really value the ability to resync my thinking back to what is best for my students. We, as teachers, always get caught up in all of the clutter and noise of educational expectations. It is always good to go to a conference with your colleagues and your principals to have our lens refocused back to really what is best for our kids."
"The speakers and the variety of teacher presenters provided easy, useable tools for immediate implementation in the classroom."
