How can administrators facilitate student experiences that result in a positive school culture? Hear how one researcher considered the development of a sense of community through the lens of an interdisciplinary arts project. The researcher examined students’ experiences of flow, democratic learning, and deep learning of a minority culture on their feelings of community.
