What aspects of student belonging are focused on in the Ignite Fellowship?
Ignite focuses on a sense of belonging. The science of learning and development shows that students need to feel connected with educators in order to grow academically. Based on this, we are focusing on fostering belonging (as well as accelerating literacy or math learning or expanding post-secondary access) to meet student needs.
It is important for students to feel like they belong not only in the virtual space you all are creating but also in their broader school. The Ignite team will provide resources, inspiration, and some training on how to create a sense of belonging with your students.
