Cultivating Connection: Building Safe and Supportive School Environments

Humans have always been a hierarchical species. But when you emphasize merciless competition at the expense of all else in a culture that glorifies violence, an occasional violent uprising by those who feel left out is hardly surprising.
What really makes a school feel safe and supportive? In this episode of 'Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.', Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore tackle the complex issue of school violence and the crucial role of building rapport. They dive into how adverse childhood experiences can impact student behavior and discuss the pitfalls of a hyper-competitive school culture. But it’s not all doom and gloom; they also share practical, actionable tips for educators to foster stronger connections with their students.
By focusing on interpersonal skills and prioritizing human dignity, the hosts believe schools can become more inclusive and collaborative spaces. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in creating a nurturing educational environment where every student feels valued.
