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.

In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- The definition of boredom
- Causes and contributing factors of boredom
