The California Center for School Climate is hosting a webinar on how educators should evaluate the expression “I am so bored” when they hear it from students and consider what it could indicate about students’ academic and psychosocial development. This presentation introduces two new California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) boredom items added in 2021/22 asking students about school boredom and how much value they place in their academic endeavors.
Using the responses of more than 500,000 secondary students, WestEd and the University of California, Santa Barbara will show how “boredom” could provide helpful insights into students’ social and emotional well-being. Practical information and resources to guide conversations with students will be provided at the webinar.
