- Synopsis
- Higher Education institutions are under growing pressure to attract and retain their students and give them the best chance of success. Research consistently demonstrates that a strong sense of belonging is closely linked to various aspects of student success, including academic achievement, engagement, mental health and wellbeing, and student retention.Taking a practical focus and bringing in the expertise of practitioners across academic and professional staff through a series of case studies, this book explores what works when taking practical steps towards enhancing students’ sense of belonging. Chapters cover taking a whole institution approach to belonging, efforts at different stages of the student journey, how to develop approaches that support specific student groups, and plenty of examples of working in partnership with students. Each chapter also presents a reflective example, with lessons learned and recommendations for future practitioners. Everyone working in Higher Education can make a positive difference to students’ sense of belonging whilst at university.This book provides accessible, practical examples of how to take the first steps towards developing a sense of belonging with your students. It is essential reading for staff working across both academic and professional service roles in the areas of student retention, access, experience, engagement, and support.
