I’ve previously written about how I develop student leadership teams in each of my classes to help problem-solve.

 

  • Take steps to foster a sense of social belonging among employees.

There are many ways to promote this in the classroom (see THE BEST RESOURCES FOR LEARNING HOW TO PROMOTE A SENSE OF “BELONGING” AT SCHOOL).
