Description
Boredom is an intriguing and complex topic to study. Understanding it better will help you engage students in meaningful ways and overcome the mental block that boredom can cause. Lisa Van Gemert, M.Ed. dives deep into the underlying causes of boredom as she explains how to understand and remedy it in the classroom during this recorded virtual live event.
While this course is beneficial on its own, it is intended as a follow-up session to Beyond Boredom: Understanding and Conquering the “B” Word, which is available in our course library.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- The definition of boredom
- Causes and contributing factors of boredom
- How to distinguish between boredom and other emotions
- How to encourage self-regulation skills
- Effective methods and strategies for overcoming and preventing boredom

This course opened my eyes to the fact that there are several reasons why a student may say they are bored — when it is entirely possible that they are working through a different emotion.
I liked hearing that there are reasons that students are bored — lack of sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise — but I can help prevent boredom in my classroom by being engaged with my students each day.
