Belonging Instructor Manual

Belonging is more than just fitting in – it provides a foundation for well-being, engagement, and academic success. Grounded in current research and student development theory, this instructor manual centers around the insight that humans are deeply social beings, and that a student’s sense of being seen, valued, and connected is directly tied to their success both in and out of the classroom.

Through this instructor manual, higher education professionals are provided with a powerful set of activities designed to help college students explore, understand, and strengthen their sense of belonging during a time of major transition and identity development.
