Description

Fostering a sense of belonging in the classroom is important for student engagement. An impactful way to build this sense of belonging is by opening class with a student-created slideshow. Students contribute a single PowerPoint slide featuring something that bring them joy, such as photos of family, friends, pets, hobbies, or favorite quotes. The educator then compiles these slides into a continuous presentation that plays as students arrive to class. By including each student’s unique perspective, the classroom atmosphere becomes more inclusive. Supplemental Digital Content with the article includes contributions from both an educator and a student.
