- Time: 2 minutes Elapsed Time: 15 minutes Say: Teachers, administrators, other school staff and parents can all take part in implementing six strategies to increase school connectedness, which can enhance each of the four factors that influence school connectedness (adult support, belonging to a positive peer group, commitment to education, and a healthy school environment). Implementing strategies to increase school connectedness and improve students’ health and education outcomes requires the effort and collaboration of many different school staff members within school buildings as well as the families of students, and other individuals, groups and organizations outside of schools. We will dive into the strategies in just a moment.
