I thought I would start my blog with sharing an activity I'm coordinating at the high school I work at. Some recent research suggests that a schools climate and the students perceptions' on connectedness are directly related with the academic success students experience at that particular school. My task was to have as many students and staff at my school go through a survey that was constructed to assess those specific things.
I think no matter where you live, the individual must feel connected with the culture and physical surroundings to be successful. This also helps develop your identity and a sense of belonging which are both very important when dealing with our long, Alaskan winters.
