What is a Belonging Audit?
The Belonging Audit is a practical tool designed to identify students who may be struggling to feel at home in our school community.
Through targeted surveys and interventions, we gain valuable insights into how students feel in school, helping us create an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and included.
Classroom Belonging Survey
Who is this survey aimed at?
Teachers can share this survey with the students they teach, for example, I might distribute it to gain insights into my Year 11 Biology class.
When should it be implemented?
Anytime during the academic year, but ideally once students have settled in. This allows teachers to assess students' sense of belonging in the classroom and use the feedback to reflect and make adjustments.
What will you find out?
The Classroom Belonging survey is designed for teachers to use with their students to gauge the sense of belonging within the classroom.
This quick anonymous survey focuses on how students perceive their relationships with teachers, the fairness and support they receive, and how valued they feel in their learning environment. This information is for the teacher's eyes only.
The results help inform teaching practices and improve the overall classroom atmosphere by highlighting areas for positive change.
