Students who feel a sense of belonging are four times more likely to engage in class and five times more likely to persist through challenges, yet Gallup’s 2025 survey shows only 31% of U.S. students strongly agree they belong at school. At the same time, generative AI pilots are freeing nearly six teacher hours per week—time that often disappears into routine tasks.
In this edWebinar, K-12 educators and leaders learn how to deliberately reinvest AI’s “time dividend” into practices that measurably strengthen student belonging, with practical tools that can be applied at the classroom, building, or district level.
By viewing, you:
- See how much time AI can give back in your day
- Learn quick, high-impact ways to turn freed minutes into stronger student connections
- Discover pathways to scale belonging at the classroom, school, or district level
- Walk away with ready-to-use tools to start immediately
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, district leaders, education technology leaders, instructional coaches and assistants, and school counselors.
