Welcome back to Confessions of a PYP Teacher and the thirteenth episode in our well-being series.


Today, we are continuing our exploration of boreout, this time from the learner’s perspective. If teachers can experience boreout, is it possible that our learners can too?


In a PYP classroom, this can be easy to miss because everything might look like it’s working. The tasks are getting done, the room is lively and orderly, and expectations are being met. But when we look a little closer, we might notice something else.

Take a listen to see how learner boreout shows up in our practice and what we can do about it.
