When students are able to connect and form relationships, it drives a stronger sense of self, a greater ability to learn, and better life outcomes. As educators, we want to build not just knowledgeable students–but Whole Students and we play an influential role in helping them form connections.
What if we could guide our students as they learn how to form healthy bonds—in a way that fits into the realities of today’s schools? What if something grand—connection and community—could start with something small: a simple question, that leads to a small conversation, that builds to create actual connections, to quietly transform the school environment.
Join us for a conversation about how educators can close the connection gap with a simple question.
