OverviewSchool belonging should be a priority across every facet of education. The research on school belonging for positive student outcomes has been widely accepted and findings demonstrating its role as a protective factor against mental ill health and youth suicide are too compelling to ignore. In an age where it has been argued that academic achievement is prioritised over wellbeing, the editors bring the importance of school belonging back to the fore in educational policy and planning. This book is the most comprehensive compendium of its kind on the topic of school belonging. A foreword by Professor John Hattie of The University of Melbourne sets the scene for an engaging look at how school belonging is quintessential in contemporary schooling. Contributors are: Kelly-Ann Allen, Christopher Boyle, Jonathan Cohen, Crystal Coker, Erin Dowdy, Clemence Due, Jonathan K. Ferguson, Sebastian Franke, Michael Furlong, Annie Gowing, Alun Jackson, Divya Jindal-Snape, Andrew Martinez, Daniel Mays, Vicki McKenzie, Susan Dvorak McMahon, Franka Metzner, Kathryn Moffa, Silke Pawils, Damien W.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis book should be key reading for students of education, for teachers and pastoral staff, school and college leadership teams, including SENDCos, and for education policymakers at all levels of government. - Dominic Griffiths, Manchester Metropolitan University, Support for Learning, 35 (1), 121-122 There is repeated recognition in this book of the need to question the universal validity of theory derived from a limited community. If only such humility were more commonly found. In consequence the book, which inevitably is almost entirely derived from work in national systems, forms a rich resource and a valuable tool for any practitioner or researcher in international education. - Richard Pearce, International Education Consultant, in Journal of Research in International Education, 19(2), 176-179 Author InformationKelly-Ann Allen, Ph.D. (2015), Melbourne Graduate School of Education, The University of Melbourne, is an endorsed Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Fellow of the University of Melbourne.
