Presentation Types

AMLE24 is designed with educator’s varied learning preferences in mind. Prospective presenters can select from the following session formats when responding to the call for presentations:

  • Panel Session: Presenters propose a moderator and two or more panelists to discuss a topic aligned with an AMLE24 Special Strand.
  • Concurrent Sessions: One-hour sessions that dig into a particular topic and are designed to be interactive and full of practical take-aways you can implement in your school and classroom. Note: Concurrent Session slots are extremely limited. The acceptance rate is typically at or below 20%.
  • Spark and Tell (New in 2024!) One presentation running for 30 minutes highlighting new and emerging ideas, followed by audience Q&A.
  • Speed Learning Sessions: A hallmark of the AMLE Annual Conference, speed learning allows attendees to explore multiple topics while engaging with presenters in a small group format. Presenters offer a 15-minute presentation three times in succession as attendees move about the room between sessions.
  • Snapshot Posters: Back by popular demand, these visual posters highlight an impactful practice in your classroom or school and includes a tutorial/presentation video of up to 10 minutes. For example, this might be a classroom management strategy, a method of promoting positive culture in your school, a creative exploratory program, etc.). Presenters will have the opportunity to create a poster using a Canva design template that will be printed by AMLE and will include a QR code that links to the video. Grand prizes will be awarded to the most highly rated posters, which will also be included in AMLE’s Mini-PD Library, including:
    • Gold Medal Prize: $1,000
    • Silver Medal Prize: $500
    • Bronze Medal Prize: $250

    All presenters, including panelists and snapshot poster presenters must register to attend the conference. AMLE offers a steeply discounted registration rate for accepted presenters.
