Onboarding for Belonging and Connection

When teachers are well-prepared, strategically mentored, and feel a sense of belonging, the chances that they will thrive in a new working environment are high. This virtual workshop will explore ways to redesign the onboarding process that emphasize care and belonging. Through a series of small-group discussions and activities, participants will walk away with practical tips and strategies to reinvigorate ways new faculty and staff members enter a school’s community.

• Identify the pivotal role relationships, belonging, and purpose serve for thriving school cultures
• Examine a relational program for supporting new faculty and staff as a vital component of school culture
• Reflect on the connection between one's experience, identity, and purpose for education

Participants will walk away with a digital toolkit full of templates and activity examples.
