The power of belonging within a school community is well documented. It fuels academic achievement, enhances student behavior, and supports student mental health and wellness. Yet despite widespread efforts, student reports of belonging continue to decline, leaving educators and leaders grappling with a complex and urgent challenge.

In the second edWeb podcast of Trailblazing Leadership Week, Doug Bolton, Ph.D., author of Untethered: Creating Connected Families, Schools, and Communities to Raise a Resilient Generation, explores the systemic barriers that undermine belonging and offers clear, actionable strategies that school leaders can implement immediately to foster authentic belonging among students and staff.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders and district leaders.
