Belonging Is the New Leadership Superpower

Thursday July 23, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Think of someone on your staff who doesn't yet feel connected — to their colleagues, to the work, to the mission. Now ask: what is your leadership role in that? Belonging isn't a feel-good add-on — it's a strategic lever with an effect size of 0.48 on learning, stronger than most professional development. In this 60-minute session, administrators will explore Signature Practice #1, Classroom and School Climate, from the Illustrated Guide to Visible Learning. Veteran leaders will share how they are building a belonging culture in their schools and all participants will leave ready to implement a specific action that moves the needle on our SAA priority: every staff member feels known, supported, and connected to the mission.
