Video 2: Creating a Felt Sense of Safety and Belonging in School Starts with the Brain

Safety and belonging start with the brain! Creating a safe and welcoming environment is the foundation of classroom culture and community and is crucial for academic success and overall well-being.

We spend so much time creating beautiful classrooms, however, providing students with a sense of security can be challenging if we don’t understand how the brain perceives safety and threats. You cannot talk someone into feeling safe.

Learn to use approaches that foster a sense of safety, nurture trust and belonging, and support students in approaching challenges with curiosity instead of fear as they learn that they can manage to do things that are difficult.
