Professional Development Workshops with AMLE
Bring AMLE to your school! Our in-house team, led by Director of Middle Level Programs and veteran middle grades educator Katie Powell, will design and execute a professional development event tailored to your school and conducted over your identified time frame (one day, one week, across a series of staff meetings, quarterly, or a year-long program). We believe that professional learning should be long term, job embedded, and relevant and our team stays available to meet with your team to check in on your progress after your event and provide ongoing recommendations.
