Cultivating Connection: Transforming Classrooms Into Communities of Belonging LIMITED
Tuesday April 8, 2025 1:15pm - 2:15pm CDT
Jesse Fell Room B
Belonging is the bedrock of a thriving classroom, where students feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. This session explores strategies to cultivate authentic, meaningful connections that build trust, empathy, and resilience—especially for students navigating the challenges of trauma and adversity.
Grounded in Transformative Social-Emotional Learning (tSEL), trauma-informed practices, and healing-centered engagement, participants will discover actionable ways to create emotionally safe and inclusive environments. Educators will learn how to dismantle barriers to belonging, prioritize mental health, and foster culturally responsive spaces that celebrate diversity and nurture resilience.
Through practical tools and proven strategies, this session equips educators to inspire student engagement, strengthen relationships, and create classrooms where every learner is empowered to heal, grow, and thrive both academically and emotionally.
