What is most important to ask students?

Four key themes are essential for students to thrive now—and in the future: 

  1. Hope: goals, agency, and pathways for the future
  2. Engagement: relationships that create enthusiasm for meaningful learning experiences
  3. Belonging: feeling cared for, accepted, and valued
  4. 21st Century Learning: empowered as lifelong learners and contributors in our complex and ever-changing world
