with Jason Knighton-Johnson
In this free webinar, we’ll explore how creating a culture of belonging—through the IMPACT framework (Individuals Making Positive Academic Change Together)—can significantly enhance student achievement in higher education.
We’ll focus on Culturally Validating Pedagogy, which fosters unconditional belonging while driving academic excellence.
Key topics include:
- The concept of unconditional belonging and its role in higher education
- Introducing the IMPACT framework for positive academic change
- Principles of Culturally Validating Pedagogy
- The link between belonging and student success
- Initial strategies for implementing these ideas in your practice
This conversation is for higher leaders, faculty, and staff aiming to create more inclusive, academically enriching environments. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how fostering belonging can improve student outcomes and strengthen academic communities.
Join us to begin making a lasting IMPACT on students’ academic journeys.
