School connectedness
Students who feel a greater sense of school connectedness experience increased self-esteem, motivation and academic achievement. Fostering school connectedness also develops an inclusive learning environment. These school connectedness practices focus on developing home-school relations, collaborative partnerships, and establishing trust through communication.
