Belonging as the Foundation: Where Brain Science Meets Identity in the Classroom [EP 20]

2025-01-0642:38

Today we talk about belonging as a foundational element in the classroom with colleague and mentor, Lorraine Martinez Haley. Fifteen years ago 'belonging' wasn't a common buzzword among educators, so today we discuss the connection between the science of teaching and learning and the science of diversity, equity, and belonging. We ask how we as teachers can stay in this space rather than let the concept of belonging become a fad. We also talk about why belonging is important for both students and educators and how teachers can create space for their colleagues and students to show up as they need to. Listen to this episode to learn about the concept of Belonging 2.0, sharing authority in the classroom space, and how teachers can manage their power of choice and privilege as educators.
