Boundaries Quiz
Are your boundaries too loose? Too rigid? Or maybe, just right!
The greatest influence on a student’s experience at school is the adults who surround them. There are significant academic and developmental benefits when every student can identify at least one trusted adult at school—and even greater benefits when they can identify many. A key component of trust is establishing and maintaining clear boundaries. Taking the time and effort to get those boundaries right protects both adults and students and ultimately supports the well-being and growth of young people.
Boundaries can seem simple, but in reality, they are complex and need constant attention and tending. Every action, big or small, sends a message to those around us about our personal and professional boundaries. There is an ideal balance of accessibility, boundaries, and care in schools and organizations, and we can achieve it with thoughtful practice that cultivates conditions that allow youth and adults to thrive.
