360 Belonging Surveys for Schools
These belonging surveys are designed to assess the sense of belonging and inclusion experienced by all members of the school community. The 360-degree approach captures perspectives from students, families, and educators to provide a holistic understanding of the school’s climate and culture.
They are intentionally designed to be adapted for use in ways that reflect the needs, language, and culture of each educational institution. As of this writing, we only have versions of the surveys in English. We recognize the need for translation and will share translated versions as soon as we are able.
If you are interested in piloting these surveys, please reach out to us through the contact us form on the Re-Imagining Migration website.

The surveys focus on key dimensions of belonging, including:
- Cultural identity affirmation and celebration
- Peer relationships across differences
- Family engagement and communication
- Teacher-student connections
- Curriculum representation
- Safety in discussions of diversity
- Recognition of multilingual and multicultural assets
