A1-All S need to feel like they belong if they are ever going to learn, it is all about relationships
-
Q1 Why does it matter that students feel a sense of belonging?
-
belonging means so much to basically everyone and you do your best when you feel like you are with family
-
A1: A sense of belonging will motivate Ss to perform to the utmost of their capabilities. To fulfill their potential.
-
A1: Sts won't put in the effort to learn or take risks if they don't feel they belong.
-
Margie from Macomb, EL Principal. Promise that I will actually answer questions!
-
A1: A school is a community- it's more than learning- it's 'their world' and experiencing a connection is crucial
-
is rooted in trust and Ss will never take risks unless they know they can trust the T and the environment.
-
A1 Belonging brings comfort which opens minds and later opens doors.
-
-
It is hard to be your best as an adult or student if you don’t feel like you belong
-
I like this perspective. Belonging immediately adds purpose to our efforts, and it just feels good!
-
. As someone who teaches both MS and HS Ss, comfort is a big part of it, esp for MS Ss.
-
A1: A sense of belonging can aide in a sense of ownership, desire to achieve.
-
-
-
100% truth. https://t.co/a7ECZLem62
-
-
It is hard to be your best as an adult or student if you don’t feel like you belong
-
Confused... I thought was endorsed by for a sec!
-
A1 School should be where Ss feel safe, secure, warm, and fed. Take care of the primary Maslow's needs & Ss can learn
-
A1. Tess, my 7th grade daughter, reminds us that kids go to school every day. Belonging means you look forward to that.
-
A1: When students feel like they belong, they feel important and are more willing to step outside comfort zones to try new things
-
A1 Ss need 2 feel wanted/ valued to feel they belong. If they don't feel they belong they won't be engaged.
-
A1:Its a human need & desire.The classroom shld be a safe space where students r a part of community.This contributes 2 engagement
-
Boom! https://t.co/AyAfrlj53n
-
-
A1. Tess, my 7th grade daughter, reminds us that kids go to school every day. Belonging means you look forward to that.
-
Sorry is it ok to also address teachers should feel this way https://t.co/knvc5uqLFw
-
-
A1 School should be where Ss feel safe, secure, warm, and fed. Take care of the primary Maslow's needs & Ss can learn
-
thanks for liking the tweet, it always feels good to know your thoughts, opinions & contributions are appreciated
-
I love this. If they don't enjoy it, how can we expect students to dive deeply and take risks? https://t.co/zv6qoO75iO
-
-
A1. Tess, my 7th grade daughter, reminds us that kids go to school every day. Belonging means you look forward to that.
-
So true! We know the powerful correlation between attendance & achievement!
-
Yes. Everyone should feel safe, secure and look forward to coming to school. https://t.co/aSAYYYire3
-
-
Sorry is it ok to also address teachers should feel this way https://t.co/knvc5uqLFw
-
-
A1 School should be where Ss feel safe, secure, warm, and fed. Take care of the primary Maslow's needs & Ss can learn
-
Yes! How awful to go somewhere 5 days a week when you don't look forward to it.
-
. Great point about looking forward to going to school. As Rick Honeycutt says, we have to hook em and cook em.
-
A1 student belonging is important for students to feel connected with their school community, to each other, to feel important
-
No problem. I like to think the Internet is built by good sharing!
-
I agree! We need to create cultures of learning! https://t.co/iuIYXhuDsq
-
-
Yes! How awful to go somewhere 5 days a week when you don't look forward to it.
-
Nice start everyone! Question two is just around the corner!
-
couldn't agree more, people grow most when they step out of their comfort zone, great comment
-
Yes. Love this. it's all about comfort to take risks, to learn from failure.
-
Kristen, AP from Deerfield, IL joining late
-
-
very true, it helps build relationships which is so important
-
Risk taking and being afraid to fail. The latter is hard for Ss to learn how to do.
-
Glad you could make it Kristen!
-
A2: When a student does feel that they belong they disconnect from their learning and isolate themselves.
-
A2-S that do not feel they belong often throw off the entire classroom culture...imperative for positive relationships to exist
-
welcome, better late then never, right? Nice to have you
-
Q2: What are the "consequences" when a student doesn't feel like he/she belongs?
-
Oh amen...it sure is...& it's impossible without Ss have to feel connected to embrace failure.
-
I meant to say DO NOT feel that they belong.
-
A2: Big time disconnect or buy in from the student. The consequence is they won't get much out of it.
-
-
A2: Poor attendance. Disconnect from peers socially & academically.
-
-
A2: they stop learning, their world shrinks, and we fail
-
A2: Students need to feel that they matter and that they have someone who sees them for who they are.
-
for sure. Especially at the elementary level.
-
. I am trying to be more willing to take risks and fail this year.
-
A2: lack of learning is the "best" that might sadly happen if Ss don't belong...it can be tragic in so many ways.
-
a2:disengagement, isolation, too quiet or too loud to get attn,can be ignored or punished more by teacher, be bullied or be bully
-
A2: difficult for Ss to do personal best, unmotivated, alone
-
A2 We are working to keep Ss engaged & involved. Ss who don't feel like they belong will withdraw. We need contributions from all!
-
A2 Absences, trouble in neighborhoods, widening of achievement gaps, increased consequences for Ss when they return
-
I agree, you see attendance rates increase as they find reasons to not engage in the learning.
-
A2. Disengagement. Much harder to teach if trust and community is not built in your classrooms
-
A2 Students will migrate toward a group to belong to. Sometimes becomes detrimental.
-
A2 Lack of interest in learning doesn't even touch the severity of answers to this question.
-
. I agree 100%. Hard for us Ts to learn that and express that to our Ss.
-
Well said. https://t.co/ttXJb9QEkQ
-
-
A2 Students will migrate toward a group to belong to. Sometimes becomes detrimental.
-
Agreed https://t.co/AyS9L9uC5k
-
-
A2. Disengagement. Much harder to teach if trust and community is not built in your classrooms
-
Well said. Tough to build relationships without trust & a sense of belonging
-
a2: Ss who don't feel like they belong will find other outlets to belong; can b detrimental to the learning process
-
YES...I just expressed something similar...the consequences can be unspeakable.
-
A2 very tragic if students don't have a sense of belonging. Leads to a feeling of isolation and loneliness
-
A2 I think the Ts loses on an opportunity to learn and the Ss misses opportunities to take risks and learn
-
A2 positive, confidence-building conference out of earshot of other students
-
A2 The Ss disengage, they withdraw from learning, loose trust in their teacher, its difficult for them to connect with other Ss.
-
absolutely heart breaking
-
Poor attitude, lack of effort, behavior issues, poor self esteem no connection to any adults https://t.co/1KBbvMzDlo
-
hey glad to see you here!!
-
A2: Disconnect, distraction, devaluing.
-
Really hit it with poor self image and maladaptive behavior.
-
A2 Agree with ...this is far-reaching. Consequences could carry through adulthood, and well beyond academics.
-
A2 from my daughter: Kids won't do as well as they could; feel less confident; might not try as hard; might be depressed...
-
A1 gotta build that student-led and supported climate and culture conducive to learning!!
-
Such a strong feeling of empathy coming from our community!
-
it's so hard to teach when you have those occurring
-
so true. Thanks to your daughter for sharing her insight!
-
Question 3 momentarily - let's keep this momentum going!
-
A2.2 It is really hard for us Ts to understand all our Ss are going through before they even get to school.
-
-
What scares me about Q2 about belonging I think these feelings might stay with a ss for a lifetime. So sad
-
if you don't show empathy or have it, how can you teach it?
-
-
We don't always know the "behind the scenes part of life... We might be the only hope, joy, kids have all day!
-
Q3: What core elements help a student feel as if he/she does belong?
-
We've seen this often haven't we. Hard to reverse sometimes.
-
A3-Taking the time to get to know each S and their individual uniqueness and needs...schedule lunches will all S to have 1:1 time
-
Q3: I think it is different for every ss. That makes it hard for us!
-
A3: When student learning is personalized and their voice is heard within the school culture.
-
. Your last tweet is something I like about every time I feel like I'm on the verge of getting upset with a S.
-
A3: get to know Ss personally, Likes, interests, hobbies, books, family, CONNECT
-
This is a great idea! Do you do this?
-
Yes, I have had years like that. You can't focus on the academics. Have to build up positive self esteem & community 1st
-
A3: When their dreams are our biggest priority, when we CARE about them, their family, their background, their culture
-
A3 First thoughts, living by the golden rule, & being a caring listener.
-
A3 encouragement and modeling taking risks with socio-emotional soft skills, a growth mindset w learning, including interests
-
I agree, and that is sad! Hard to get ss to engage in school each day when they feel like outsiders https://t.co/jDE7XOcljM
-
-
We've seen this often haven't we. Hard to reverse sometimes.
-
A3: Showing interest in their interests outside of school. Plain and simple. Show them you care. https://t.co/pl8w45ZGhk
-
-
Q3: What core elements help a student feel as if he/she does belong?
-
a3: i spend days at the beginning of schl yr, bldg cmnty, name games, class agreements, kids filling out private info cards,
-
A3. Strong sense of community with opportunities for voice and leadership
-
Yep - relationship building 101!
-
A3 Ss need friends, peers who accept them, a teacher has the power to change the mindset of Ss and how they feel about their peers
-
-
You bet. She's happy to share! She's up late checking out the debate.
-
Find out who they are and continue the conversation beyond the quick, "how are you doing?"
-
Someone knowing their name, showing interest in who they are, being included, A HELLO I am glad u r here! https://t.co/wtS20LnZ56
-
A3 Schools need to make families feel welcome, hopefully working to reverse feelings in Q2. Partner w/ stakeholders.
-
To rehash my weekly memo: We MUST build relationships; let our Ss know we care about them as individuals. Also Ss choice.
-
A3.2 I feel very lucky to teach in a MS that values advisory time on a daily basis.
-
a3: it's gotta be a mutual feeling for it to be sincere. I think it starts with having ts that feel like they belong
-
A3 Standards don't come first - kids come first 'ttakenotice
-
Make every interaction a win-win by giving more than what's expected.
-
a3: when kids break community, it becomes a class issue, instead of an individ issue, ive had kids apologize to class for it
-
A3 building relationships with students, spending time to get to know what makes each student uniquely awesome
-
I make it a goal by October to know every Ss first name.. all 310!
-
. Or our student growth assessments, even if they are part of our teacher evals!
-
A3 Offer learning opportunities that genuinely invite students to be creative and collaborate.
-
A3: Invest time in building community within the classroom and school from the first minute of the first day of school!
-
A3 from Tess: Teachers who aren't just about teaching the 'stuff' but like the kids. How much schl tries to get students involved.
-
. I feel welcome at BPCE. I know my two children do too!
-
-
I fell good knowing all of you are so supportive of our students. I would want you as my children's teachers!
-
More A3 from Tess: My school has a lot of different clubs & activities for kids that like different things.
-
A3: this year I even started sending home a Google Form to Ps to learn more about the Ss.
-
Rolling along - question four coming up!
-
A3. Ownership of their learning. Opportunity to explore their own interest.
-
Great idea! What was the most fascinating thing you learned? https://t.co/pK4X9uf74a
-
-
A3: this year I even started sending home a Google Form to Ps to learn more about the Ss.
-
a3: getting their names right is very impt. apologizing when i don't. making sure i do whatever i can to say their names correctly
-
I stand at drop off and say good morning.. And their name! If I don't know it I ask!
-
-
A3 Get to know them. Not just superficially take interest in them. Talk about random stuff sometimes. Let them know youre human
-
I do the same thing in the morning and after school.
-
it goes back to the thought, if you were a student would you want you as a teacher?
-
Q4: What can a teacher do to understand if a student is feeling as if he/she doesn’t belong? What are the signs?
-
Everything from outside hobbies I didn't know about to personal info I can't even share on Twitter. POWERFUL.
-
Names are important to feeling like you belong.
-
Q3. Give students responsibility outside of class/content. They WILL meet expectations and build success.
-
A4-We have two ears and one mouth...listen, listen, listen
-
Agree - powerful personalization! Makes me think about the show "Undercover Boss"
-
A welcome is so important, that means I belong! I know it is hard to carve out the time, but critical! Al… https://t.co/AYTBWAVIvq
-
-
I stand at drop off and say good morning.. And their name! If I don't know it I ask!
-
A4 Looks for signs of disengagement then help a student express what they are feeling as opposed to acting out.
-
Ask?!? Talk to them, share something positive, be proactive instead of reactive.. Read body language https://t.co/73Yy0M9PfC
-
-
Q4: What can a teacher do to understand if a student is feeling as if he/she doesn’t belong? What are the signs?… https://t.co/KqM27Cd462
-
A4: One of the things I look for in my HS class is lack of communication with peers. Do lots of group convos, projects, etc.
-
A4: Ask them to write for you...Ss can hide emotions in person but will POUR them out in writing.
-
A4: T need to recognize the non verbal behaviors of S and find ways to connect them to something within the school community.
-
A4: again, build relationships. Chat. Match them with Ss who have same interests. Connect with family. Be genuine .
-
Such a simple & effective way to get things off to a good start.
-
Q4 name 3-4 solid nonacademic facts about Ss in your class-cant? thats a problem. Have students complete a survey - they're honest
-
a4: paying attention to physical signs of disengagement, verbal signs as well. lack of respect for you & classmates.
-
A4: How much they share with u, how open they are to 'being themselves' around u- emotional intelligence is huge for T
-
A4. High school son jumping in...You have to know your students to start or you won't notice a change in how they feel.
-
Listen. Prompt conversation. Notice interactions with peers. Work ethic. If not feeling welcomed, belonging, it will show.
-
A4. End of week check ins. Provide open ended questions for Ss to privately share thoughts on content and their own learning.
-
A4 each Ss is different but subtile cues exist in some others wear their heart on their sleaves.
-
A4 listen and pay attention. Spend time at recess. Watch to see if students aren't playing or off by themselves
-
never even thought about that show from that way, good point
-
I like his perspective and willingness to contribute - I agree!
-
it's a great way to be proactive versus reactive to the behavior, address the issue before it becomes an issue
-
I have a St. who writes incredible short stories. Theme: loneliness & not having friends. Writing opened up my eyes.
-
A4 make one on one time with Ss- talk, find out what is on their mind. Have a "I Wish My Teacher Knew" box in the classroom.
-
-
-
I love this! Check it out
-
Yes...while that is sad and hopes you get to know that S...writing opens up doors and communication.
-
what a great idea, do you keep it anonymous? That seems like it would help increase engagement that way
-
Question Five coming up - the pace and flow of this conversation is terrific. Powerful sharing taking place!
-
Q5: What can we do as Ts to reach out to Ss who might not feel as if they belong in the school/class? https://t.co/QrA7MxsgDL
-
A5-Just had a group of T host a new student lunch to help S form relationships with T and S...we need to invest in our S
-
I love the idea, of involving students they could teach us so much! A fun idea for a future chat! https://t.co/vZqRZc8cqC
-
-
A4. High school son jumping in...You have to know your students to start or you won't notice a change in how they feel.
-
Get to know them personally, something about their interests, then BE interested!! https://t.co/145EmRqr3W
-
-
Q5: What can we do as Ts to reach out to Ss who might not feel as if they belong in the school/class? https://t.co/QrA7MxsgDL
-
Q5: What can we do as Ts to reach out to Ss who might not feel as if they belong in the school/class?
-
A5 Find a connection with them and use it to get them to open up a bit. Reach out to them as many dont know how to reach yet
-
A5: We had a school wide 6th grade orientation this August to help S transition to MS & S mentors to support new S during the yr
-
A5 I have to admit, I'm trying to focus on our chat, but the debates in the background are making me laugh!
-
Talk to Ss in non classroom settings, hallway, cafeteria, sports, etc BE Interested https://t.co/145EmRqr3W
-
-
Q5: What can we do as Ts to reach out to Ss who might not feel as if they belong in the school/class? https://t.co/QrA7MxsgDL
-
A5) Learn who your sts are as individuals. Incorporate their interests into class.
-
A5 I'll take it back a step - Model this as Admin for Ts
-
I have a freshman, two seventh graders & a fifth grader on standby. I do love hearing their thoughts, for sure.
-
A5: Work hard to find connections with other Ss, find their interests, invest your time in them. Again, listen.
-
A5: Meet them where they're at. Learn about their lives, their families, visit them in neighborhoods and communities
-
A5 Make a point the give them a special job, show them you trust them, leave a note in their locker, positive phone call home
-
A5: As a coach of multiple sports, I find it easier to form a rapport with my student-athletes. Connect in non-education way.
-
A5: the hallway between classes or before/after school are where connections are made. Ask Qs. Be genuine.
-
Not gonna lie didn't bother turning it on... Is that bad? https://t.co/1ObMYeNSJg
-
-
A5 I have to admit, I'm trying to focus on our chat, but the debates in the background are making me laugh!
-
I truly want to have a chat with Ss as the drivers of the conversation.
-
A5 Build relationships with the students from the 1st minute of class. Welcome their ideas into the learning community.
-
I just said this to our Admin team today! https://t.co/uQtsECNJ7W
-
-
A5 I'll take it back a step - Model this as Admin for Ts
-
OK - time to refocus. Question 6 coming up!
-
Welcome them or start co-curricular clubs to promote/support student interest.
-
A5: I played 2 truths and a lie with my Ss on the first day of class.
-
A5. 7th grade daughter is back...Instead of letting kids pick groups in class, sometimes make groups so kids get to meet others.
-
Kathy I love the idea of a ss lead you know they would teach us so much! Mine are off at college, but wou… https://t.co/GBEYOvxn7W
-
-
I have a freshman, two seventh graders & a fifth grader on standby. I do love hearing their thoughts, for sure.
-
Good use of your time in my opinion.
-
A5. Give them little successes.
-
You are right its everywhere and anywhere https://t.co/kwzl6WwWAy
-
-
A5: the hallway between classes or before/after school are where connections are made. Ask Qs. Be genuine.
-
-
I have to cut out early tonight. Will catch the archive later. Thank you for the great chat.
-
Glad you could make it -see you next time!
-
Q6: Who can schools partner with (communities/organizations) to create a great sense of belonging for students?
-
a5: i also feel like persistence is key. sometimes it will take MONTHS to reach a student. but you have to keep trying!
-
A6: Find ways to involve organizations like the Park District to involve students to help students become involved.
-
-
I tried "Five For Friday" positive calls last year & I failed :( I will try again because I know it's worth the effort
-
A6-As an elem leader I have been working to partner with our local high school to mentor our S as they develop
-
-
A6: reach out to businesses for mentors - other schools are a great resource, we have high school students play at recess
-
More A5 from Tess...Classes where you can speak freely, have real conversations & not be afraid to talk are a good environment.
-
a6: finding orgs that give students power, voice, & outlets. once you find out what a kid is interested in, try to find those orgs
-
A6 Build business partnerships, support community orgs, develop mentor programs that create connections for Ss.
-
A6 Belonging should be extended to our parents & community members.
-
Other schools is a great idea! We need to connect more with each other, esp in this state! https://t.co/HKsPOVXtzq
-
-
A6: reach out to businesses for mentors - other schools are a great resource, we have high school students play at recess
-
Let me know if you include Ss in a future chat. I can include my Social Media Club
-
A6: The community schools movement is where I believe schools need to focus
-
-
-
Ts saying goodmorning to Ss could be the only positive adult interaction of their day.
-
You & I agree that schools have tremendous opportunities to serve their communities
-
oh okay, makes sense with being able to better reach out to them, that thought didn't cross my min, great idea
-
Any community groups, parents, businesses.
-
take them on a walking field trip to Park District buildings & show them what they offer.
-
. does a great job with this. I am fortunate to learn about their methods to create partnerships.
-
. Best part about these chats and connecting with other schools is its FREE PD!
-
A5. Daily check-ins with the student. Every student should have at least 1 adult in the building that they can feel connected to
-
A6 If we want authentic learning for our Ss, then community engagement & interaction is a must.
-
A6 why not have HS and JR High and MS partner up? Good for Ss and Ts
-
-
folks in chicago check out for AWESOME opportunities to pass on to kids! there is literally something for EVERYONE
-
My school dist has had a focus of involving the community. Parent nights, businesses, officers, show your face, very welcoming
-
Or even one HS w another HS... & I have my Ss from and hers from working.
-
A6 Our theather program through is amazing. Son transitioned to high school w/passion for acting & friends.
-
I agree! There are so many ways to make connections! https://t.co/0ycMwAFz7y
-
-
A6 why not have HS and JR High and MS partner up? Good for Ss and Ts
-
yet sadly it doesnt happen for so many reasons...
-
A6 partner with community organization to provide more students with opportunities like
-
A6.1 I think this has turned into future chat topic; Service-based, community-based learning.
-
I agree, it doesn’t happen. But think of the power of connections!
https://t.co/vQmJrUKqjt
-
-
yet sadly it doesnt happen for so many reasons...
-
My favorite questions of the night coming up. Are you ready?
-
so many great answers to A6, it was said earlier, but this always feels like free PD
-
computer died. Gonna try to finish out on phone.
-
-
absolutely now how do we get admin to provide this work in a truly meaningful way
-
Q7: How is culture, climate, & student learning impacted when Ss feel like they belong?
-
A7-Students that are connected with their school will consistently perform well....This will positively impact everything
-
-
so many opportunities with service learning to increase engagement and sense of belonging
-
A6 we take a mural walk around Sterling to educate the Ss about local artists and what the murals mean 2 our community.
-
A7: when Ss feel part of the culture, they feel motivated to be successful https://t.co/INDhRhSTz7
-
-
Q7: How is culture, climate, & student learning impacted when Ss feel like they belong?
-
the picture makes the tweet!
-
All things are possible, Ss perform better, attendance goes up, scores go up, more learning https://t.co/bktuHxc76u
-
-
A7: EVERYTHING gets better, it's that simple
-
Feeling of belonging = greater motivation, satisfaction, which provides greater climate for EVERYONE. Mutual relationship.
-
