A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes - Building Belonging from Birth On
Belonging is the feeling of being appreciated, validated, and treated fairly (Cobb and Krownapple, 2019). It is the goal of educational frameworks, like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), to create climates and cultures in schools, where learners of all ages can obtain a sense of belonging and connection. By dreaming out loud, we have the ability to create these spaces with the practices we employ to honor dignity and affirm those we serve.
