EQUIPPING YOUNG PEOPLE TO BUILD QUALITY, CONNECTIONS
Social Connection- More than wealth, intelligence or extracurricular activity, social connection was found to be the strongest predictor of:
Academic performance;
Wellbeing;
Long-term career performance.
(Achor, S. Big Potential, Random House, London, 2018.)
“Our relationships are a sum of the short-term interactions we have with other people. These can either be life-giving, or life depleting.” (Dr Jane Dutton, University of Michigan).
“I think it was great and the students loved it! Linking activities back to concepts and giving the girls specific examples had the greatest impact.”
— Teacher
