In our strategic planning work with school districts, we ask staff, students, and families: “What do you want school to look like, sound like, and feel like each day?” These Desired Daily Experiences sit at the heart of the process. And across districts – large or small, rural or urban – the responses are strikingly consistent. Whether it’s a veteran teacher, a middle schooler, or a kindergarten parent, we hear: “I want to feel like I belong. That I’m known, and I matter here.”
