JON HUTCHINSON
Building Belonging.
About this masterclass
Belonging is everywhere at the moment. So is it a fad, or a silver bullet? It's neither, of course, but it is fast becoming misunderstood, morphing into everything and therefore nothing. In this session, Jon will draw on the key insights from the research on belonging, and what that means for leaders and teachers. Expect tips on how to engage in 'situation crafting', wise interventions, and positive distinctiveness.
