Staff Activity: Connection Chain
Connection is often what carries teams through the hardest moments. This activity invites staff to reflect on what helps them push through and lean on one another during tough stretches. The shared chain created becomes a visible reminder that resilience grows stronger when it’s shared.

How it Works
Leaders guide staff through short reflection prompts, small-group discussion, and a collaborative chain-building activity that captures the habits, connections, and mindsets that help teams move forward. The resource includes leader directions, reflection prompts, multiple activity variations, printable chain links, and tips for revisiting the chain throughout the year.
Educator Collaboration
This resource was created in collaboration with dedicated educators and school leaders. Special thanks to Tiffany Litman, Executive Director of the Area Special Education Cooperative (ASEC), whose Stronger Together Chain inspired this idea and highlight how reflection and connection can strengthen teams and school culture.
