Ignite focuses on a sense of belonging, as the science of learning and development shows that students need to feel connected with educators in order to grow academically. To foster connection and belonging, Ignite fellows build meaningful relationships with a consistent group of students while accelerating literacy or math learning or expanding post-secondary access.

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.
