Transform your learning space this school year by building a foundation where every student truly belongs. PEAR’s interactive Building Belonging Workshop equips educators and OST leaders with practical, research-backed tools to turn social-emotional concepts into daily routines that boost engagement, reduce behavioral disruptions, and prepare future-ready learners.

​

Key Takeaways:

•  Walk away with a concrete plan to foster authentic belonging in school and OST settings.

• Master frameworks for routines, rituals, and agreements that create safe, consistent environments.

•  Learn how to leverage student and educator identities to build inclusive, high-engagement learning spaces.

At PEAR, we believe that summer programs can meet young people’s learning and social needs in powerful ways when quality is centered. Understanding one’s programmatic strengths and the strengths of their youth and communities can lead to life-changing experiences for young people that shape the leaders they will become.
