Back in January at Bett, two voices stood out. Individually, James Roach and Nici Foote captivated audiences with a simple but profound truth: Students cannot reach their potential if they don't feel they belong.
Now, for the first time, we're bringing them together to bridge their insights. This isn’t a webinar filled with slide decks and bullet points. It’s a raw, 45-minute deep dive into the beating heart of education.
Why is belonging often treated as a "nice-to-have" rather than a "must-have" for academic success? In this candid virtual session, Nici and James will explore:
- The science of connection: Why the brain prioritises safety and belonging before learning can even begin.
- Beyond the surface: How to move past "inclusive posters" to create a culture where every student feels truly seen.
- Practical empathy: How educators can cultivate an environment of authentic belonging without adding to an already overflowing workload.
