Transforming Schools for a New Era:
Rethinking Educational Practices for Today’s Students
Do you notice a difference in today’s learners? Are your students coming to school ready to learn? Today’s students are coming to our schools with different needs. Have we adjusted our practices to ensure their success?
As an educational leader, you are at the forefront of shaping young minds and driving academic excellence. What if you could
revolutionize your school’s approach to student success by harnessing the power of executive functioning? Executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and emotional regulation—are critical to student achievement, yet often overlooked in traditional educational approaches.
Imagine equipping your students with the tools they need to thrive—not just in the classroom, but in life.
At the 2024 PASA Assistant Superintendents and Supervisors Summit, you’ll gain cutting-edge insights into how these skills impact learning, behavior, and mental wellness, plus get connected with innovative practices happening in our schools across the Commonwealth. You’ll connect with experts and educators who are rethinking how we teach, support, and empower students to reach their fullest potential.
