“Our entire faculty and teaching assistants participated in the transformative Rooted Relationship workshop with BELONG Partners, and the results were outstanding. The workshop equipped us with valuable research on brain development, a unified language, and powerful strategies that enhance our approach to supporting students. So impactful was the training that we’ve made it a prerequisite for all new faculty to complete this workshop before joining us each school year. The difference it makes in fostering stronger connections and student success is immeasurable!”
— Alan Phan, Associate Head of School at The Evergreen School in Seattle
Partnering with Independent Schools to Build Stronger, More Connected Communities
At BELONG Partners, we help independent schools integrate social emotional learning (SEL) and restorative discipline into everyday school life. Through professional development and family engagement, we support you in building a culture where students thrive, educators feel supported, and families are empowered.
We understand that every independent school has its own culture, values, and vision. That is why we work in close collaboration with your leadership team, teacher leaders, and key community stakeholders to co-create a plan that reflects the unique needs of your community.
Together, we can:
- Equip students with the social and emotional skills to solve problems, navigate conflict, and practice empathy
- Support educators with shared language and practical tools to build relationships and teach SEL skills in the classroom
- Strengthen school culture through restorative practices that foster accountability, repair harm, and build a sense of community
- Support parents and caregivers with tools and strategies aligned with what students are learning at school
- Build a shared language and common understanding that connects home and school
We offer public workshops where you can send individual staff members to learn with educators from other schools.
You can also bring us into your school to lead customized professional development designed specifically for your community’s goals and needs.
Looking to deepen your community’s commitment to belonging, equity, and student well-being? Let’s talk about what is possible.
Coming this fall! Join us at the NWAIS Conference in October to learn more about our work with independent schools. We would love to connect with you there.
