Meet ExQ, CEO and Founder, Sucheta Kamath as we join GAEL Members to sponsor the 2023 SSTAGE Promising Practices Conference.

The 16th Annual highly acclaimed SSTAGE Promising Practices Conference will feature an opening keynote and two conference sessions from Dr. Mary Hemphill, the author of The One-Minute Meeting: Creating Student Stakeholders in Schools, which teaches how to leverage a unique instructional practice called the One-Minute Meeting to authentically glean information from students to fully engage and empower them. Concurrent conference sessions will focus on the most promising practices for Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), Response to Intervention (RtI), and Student Support Teams (SST) featuring elementary, middle, and high schools along with districts from around the state implementing highly effective practices with successful outcomes, and a wide array of special interest topics that are informative and practical from expert educators including several from GaDOE/GaMTSS.

Meet Sucheta Kamath to explore the neuroscience of Executive Function and learn how direct and explicit emphasis on instructional curriculum that promotes the mastery of Executive Function can ensure students have cultivated the necessary self-awareness and critical thinking skills essential to strategize for learning and life.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how Executive Function impacts learners’ capabilities to cope and adapt during transitions

Discover the value proposition for incorporating personalized learning through Executive Function curriculum into Middle and High School

Understand how training advanced Executive Function skills influences the ability to empathize, identify needs to achieve common goals, strengthen adaptive flexibility, and increase awareness about social responsibility
