The MASP Fall Conference will explore questions of academic and behavioral proficiencies. As schools continue to develop strong student assistance teams, school-wide RtI plans, and manage student centered interventions both in academic and behavioral/emotional areas this conference will provide up-to-date and valuable information for school psychologists, teachers, and school staff. Dr. Steven Feifer will speak for two days.
On Thursday, Dr. Feifer will explore the neural architecture of emotional behavior by examining various brain structures laying the foundation for higher level social skill functioning. He will address how schools can enhance emotional wellness in children through early prevention efforts, appropriate assessment strategies, and an improved school climate to foster emotional growth for all children.
On Friday, Dr. Feifer will change gears to guide us through an exploration of how young children learn and acquire basic mathematical skills from a brain-based educational perspective.
You can attend the full conference or you can zero in on the topic of greater interest to you by attending a single day.
