Why does belonging matter so much for student success?
In this teaser, Corey Alderdice introduces a three-part series exploring the role of belonging in education, beginning with research from Gallup and Purdue showing its connection to college completion and long-term success.
The series will examine how those insights translate to high school environments, how the S.P.A.C.E. framework from Stanford’s Challenge Success initiative highlights the systems that shape belonging, and why creating schools where students feel known, connected, and engaged should be a priority across all educational models.
