Belonging in School with Dr. Doug Fisher

Register for this event at: Belonging2025.eventbrite.com

Belonging is an instinctual feeling: you know when you feel it—and you really know when you don’t.

Creating a sense of belonging in the classroom has a significant impact on student learning and well-being; it serves as a gatekeeper for other aspects of learning to take root.

But how do we create classrooms and schools where every student knows they belong?

This one full-day training will take you through the 11 evidence-based feature actions and strategies that all school staff can apply to help students feel more included.

Participants will engage in:
- Detailed coverage of the 11 dimensions of belonging
- Evidence-based actions to help foster belonging, balanced between elementary and secondary levels

We are honored to have Dr. Doug Fisher take us through this framework.
