Presenter: Jeff Walls, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership
Description: A widespread sense of belonging at school is essential for a healthy school culture, academic success, and healthy peer and adult relationships for students. The gateways of belonging exist along a spectrum from inflexible to highly flexible. The purpose of this session is to introduce attendees to a spectrum-based understanding of belonging, and share a tool to explore practices, affordances, and gaps in belonging at the classroom level.
Learning Goals: 1) Participants will understand school belonging as a spectrum. 2) Participants will apply their understanding to their own schools and classrooms. 3) Participants will examine a classroom-level tool for assessing belonging.
