Building Social Capital Through Inclusive Practices

Belonging in schools must go beyond surface-level participation. It must lead to authentic connection. This course examines how inclusive practices build social capital by nurturing relationships, reciprocity, and meaningful contribution among all students. Educators will explore how everyday instructional choices, classroom routines, and extracurricular opportunities can be designed to foster deep, sustaining connections. Grounded in the belief that social capital is essential for lifelong inclusion and well-being, this course supports educators in designing classrooms and communities where every learner is known, valued, and connected.
