Greetings SSTAGE Colleagues and Friends,

It is an honor to serve as President of SSTAGE and be part of an organization so committed to supporting Georgia educators and the students we serve.

At the heart of SSTAGE is connection—connecting educators to one another, meaningful professional learning, promising practices, and resources that strengthen MTSS and Student Support Teams across our state.

This work is about so much more than processes, paperwork, or compliance. It is about knowing our students, identifying what they need, and creating systems that help every student succeed. It is also about supporting the educators who do this important work every day.

My hope is that SSTAGE remains a place where you can learn, share, ask questions, find practical ideas, and connect with others who understand both the challenges and the possibilities of this work.

I encourage you to explore our resources, join us for professional learning opportunities, share the great things happening in your schools and districts, and become an active part of the SSTAGE community.

We are better when we learn from one another, support one another, and work together for Georgia’s students.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside you and excited about what we can accomplish together!

Lesley Greene
President, SSTAGE
