Leadership Roundtable: Fostering Belonging at the Beginning of the School Year

Panelists: 
Laurie Barron, Superintendent, Evergreen School District, Author, The Successful Middle School: A Place to Belong and Become

Sabine Phillips, Principal, Margate Middle School

The research is clear that when kids feel they belong at school they enjoy better outcomes. But "belonging" can feel amorphous at times. So what real, tangible strategies can middle school leaders rely on to make their buildings spaces where kids feel they belong and where they can discover who they are - and who they want to become? Bring your questions and ideas and join us as a superintendent and three principals facilitate an invigorating conversation on what's working in their schools.
