Despite growing attention to the importance of grit and other
character traits for achievement, developing them in students
rarely finds its way into secondary school curricula. Authors
Barbara Cervone and Kathleen Cushman investigate the exceptions,
telling the stories of five high schools with a national reputation
for infusing rigorous academics with social and emotional learning,
which results in demonstrable benefits for students. Based on
extensive interviews and on-site visits, the book identifies six
elements that all of these schools have in common, including
advisories and other structural supports for students and teachers;
rituals and other means for establishing an intentional,
reflective, and respectful community as well as a firm commitment
to restorative justice; and a broad and engaging curriculum that
includes service learning. Featuring the voices of educators and
students alike, Belonging and Becoming not only shows how these
schools stand out for their high degree of caring and success, but
makes a strong case for why other schools should be inspired to
take up the challenge and replicate their efforts.
