ELMLE Malta - Navigate the Way
Join us on the magnificent island of Malta, January 23-25, 2025, for our 39th annual conference, ELMLE Malta - Navigate the Way.
Just as sailors have used their skills for millennia to navigate waters to Malta, our theme delves into the analogy that middle school is a navigational journey for our students. We will explore how we are engaging, supporting and empowering students to navigate social, emotional, physical, psychological and cognitive landscapes. The middle school transition mirrors a journey of self-discovery, an exploration of new territories within the self and others. Competencies and social skills emerge as the compass, guiding students to interact positively, build meaningful connections, and navigate conflicts. Join us to explore the many ways we design learning experiences and pathways to support our middle schoolers in navigating the complex seas of growing and learning, helping them as they plot their course and find their flow.
Let’s continue our professional learning journey around supporting students to navigate adolescence for happiness and success during (and beyond) the formative middle school years!
