As another school year gets underway, join middle level leaders from across the country for the first AMLE Middle School Leadership Roundtable of the 2026–2027 school year. Moderated by Chad Corey, Principal of AMLE School of Distinction, South Orangetown Middle School (NY), this collaborative conversation provides an opportunity to connect with colleagues, reflect on the start of the year, exchange ideas, and learn from one another as we navigate the opportunities and challenges of leading a middle school.

Whether your students have already been in session for several weeks or are just returning to school, this roundtable offers a supportive space to share experiences, celebrate successes, and discuss strategies that are making an impact.

To help guide our conversation, please come prepared to discuss:

• The biggest challenge you anticipate this year
• One initiative you are most excited about
• A strategy or practice you are approaching differently this year
• A program or initiative that is already exceeding expectations
• A student support strategy that is making a positive difference for students

Bring your insights, questions, and experiences as we learn from one another and strengthen our network of middle level leaders. We look forward to seeing you there!
