Get in the Game: Boost Student Engagement and Belonging
Thursday July 24, 2025 3:20pm - 4:35pm EDT
Gaming is more than entertainment — it’s a powerful way to connect with today’s students. In this session, we’ll explore how esports and game-based activities can drive student engagement, improve attendance, and strengthen wellness and belonging, especially for hard-to-reach students, neurodiverse learners, English learners, and more. Whether you’re looking to start a club, build a competitive team, or use gaming for PBIS and student connections, you’ll leave with practical ideas and starter strategies to bring the power of scholastic esports to your school community. Get ready to get in the game — and unlock a new pathway for student success.
