NAIS School Culture and Student Experience Webinar Series: What Students Tell Us About Engagement & Learning

Parents and guardians offer an essential perspective on school culture, student experience, and belonging. In this webinar from the 2026-2027 NAIS School Culture and Student Experience Webinar Series, use findings from Authentic Connections' Parent Resilience Survey and NAIS research on parent perceptions of school climate to explore what family feedback reveals about communication, trust, well-being, inclusion, and the overall school experience. Examine how schools can build trust across differing perspectives, communicate purpose, create opportunities for dialogue, and incorporate family and community insights into decision-making and continuous improvement.
