Description
School belonging should be a priority across every facet of education. The research on school belonging for positive student outcomes has been widely accepted and findings demonstrating its role as a protective factor against mental ill health and youth suicide are too compelling to ignore. In an age where it has been argued that academic achievement is prioritised over wellbeing, the editors bring the importance of school belonging back to the fore in educational policy and planning. This book is the most comprehensive compendium of its kind on the topic of school belonging. A foreword by Professor John Hattie of The University of Melbourne sets the scene for an engaging look at how school belonging is quintessential in contemporary schooling.

Reviews / Votes
??This book should be key reading for students of education, for teachers and pastoral staff, school and college leadership teams, including SENDCos, and for education policymakers at all levels of government.??- Dominic Griffiths, Manchester Metropolitan University, Support for Learning, 35 (1), 121-122
??There is repeated recognition in this book of the need to question the universal validity of theory derived from a limited community. If only such humility were more commonly found. In consequence the book, which inevitably is almost entirely derived from work in national systems, forms
a rich resource and a valuable tool for any practitioner or researcher in international education.??
- Richard Pearce, International Education Consultant, in Journal of Research in International Education, 19(2), 176-179
