About This Project

Field Guide to a School of Belonging is our core resource, providing the rationale for TEI’s baseline integration practices for designing and creating an emotionally safe learning community where every young person has a voice to tell their story and where every story has a place to be told. Readers can use this guide individually as a self-study course, with one’s colleagues as a book study, as a school-wide resource, or as a companion to TEI’s digital professional development course: Creating a School of Belonging. 

At the close of each chapter is a link to a short podcast by Field Guide author David Levine as a tool to reinforce ideas and practices he presents in the chapter.
