This presentation will discuss student-teacher relationships, school belonging, and sense of school safety and how they interact to form distinct student typologies and inform targeted school counseling interventions. Drawing on literature and a large‑scale dataset, the session will emphasize the significance of these variables to support students’ social‑emotional development and academic outcomes. Attendees will gain practical strategies aligned with the Multi‑Tiered System of Supports model to explore student experiences and design multilevel support interventions for all students.
