Podcast appearances and mentions of jen cort

A recent survey found that nearly a quarter of middle school students and a third of high school students feel they don't belong. This conversation explores the concept of belonging uncertainty and its impact on students' well-being and academic success. The guests discuss the importance of creating a sense of belonging in schools and offer strategies for addressing this issue. They emphasize the need for adults to have conversations about identity, race, gender, and sexual orientation with students, and to validate their experiences. Small interventions, such as assigning buddies to new students and using value-affirmation activities, can also help reduce belonging uncertainty.

Jen Cort kicks off season three of her podcast by looking back on some of the conversations that she has had over the past two years. The you'll hear in this extended episode provide responses to a question that Jen asks at the end of each episode: "What do you want people to be thinking about now that they've heard this conversation?"

How we treat each other matters and how we advocate for each other matters. When students don't feel included, respected, and understood, they don't feel well. Experiencing bias, racism, sexism, classism, ageism etc. can lead to feelings of isolation, fear, anxiety, depression, and anger. Educators have a responsibility to stand up for their students when they see or hear someone being mistreated, made fun of or harassed because of some part of their identity. Many educators may feel unprepared to do so due to the lack of diversity or conflict resolution training. Educational consultant and therapist, Jen Cort explains how teachers don't have to have all of the answers to help their students thrive. They just have to be willing to be acknowledge moments of bias, be vulnerable, lead with their hearts, and learn from their students. In this episode we explore The challenges that students, educators, administrators, parents/guardians faced before COVID-19 around diversity, equity, and inclusion and the challenges they are facing now. How students, educators, administrators, and parents can heal and create stronger bonds. How to create conversation norms that help school communities thrive.
