What if belonging wasn't a poster or a pep talk, but a practice you could measure, build, and sustain? We sit down with Dr. Sheldon Eakins to unpack how leadership choices shape whether students feel accepted, supported, and included. From turning speaking engagements into chapters to designing a student belonging survey, Dr. Eakins shows how to move from intent to impact with tools any school can use.We dig into inclusion and assimilation, and why asking students to “fit in” by quietly shedding their identity undermines achievement. Sheldon shares how to audit rituals and traditions, align mission and vision with lived culture, and break down silos between special education, multilingual learning, and general education. His potluck metaphor reframes the work: bring homemade, not boxed. Craft environments where every learner sees themselves on the table and feels safe enough to try something new.Teachers will find concrete ideas to swap “classroom management” for community-building: co-create agreements, build respectful relationships, and design projects that connect standards to students' lives. We also explore attachment theory across K–12, showing how even 50 minutes can become a secure base for growth. And for the time-starved, Sheldon offers a pragmatic take on AI: use it to draft plans and personalize entry points, then spend your energy on feedback, facilitation, and care. If you're ready to lead with clarity and purpose, and to build a culture where identity fuels learning, this conversation is your roadmap.

Originally aired July 2024. Jennifer Eakins (4for4) and host Thomas Emerick climb back to Mile High in September '99 where the reigning two-time champion Denver Broncos are celebrating the retired John Elway on opening night. How much does the 38-3 January playoff loss still sting for the Fins, especially since that was Dan Marino and John Elway's final head-to-head? Jennifer was a Dolphins fan in the stadium for Elway Commemoration Night, where Miami looks for some measure of vindication against a largely intact Broncos squad in Brian Griese's debut.
