Relationships play an essential role in students’ everyday experiences. Positive, supportive climates in schools and classrooms are important for promoting a culture of inclusivity, fostering engagement, and nurturing student success.

It’s difficult, if not impossible, to find any positive developmental outcome that isn’t shaped by relationships. Each and every student needs developmental relationships—the close connections through which young people discover who they are, cultivate abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them. Are your schools relationship ready? In this edWeb podcast, listeners:

  • Discover how relationships shape youth development
  • Understand the impact of context in relationships
  • Explore opportunities to create capacity and understanding to maximize the power of relationships

Listeners learn about research-backed models and practices that, combined with youth voice and educator wisdom, enhance young people’s development and well-being through real-life experiences:

  • Minnetonka Public Schools’ journey toward a relationship-ready district
  • NAF’s approach to transforming students’ experiences by leveraging relationships to unlock opportunities

Listeners gain a shared understanding of the intentional approach to relationships, focusing on advancing district and school outcomes. They also receive access to Search Institute’s free resources to start their journey toward becoming a relationship-ready school. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders and district leaders.
