The kids are not all right: TDSB student census reveals higher stress levels, greater sense of disconnect
(The Star Fashion & Style)
 


The kids are not all right.That’s according to the Toronto District School Board’s 2017 Student and Parent Census Data released Tuesday, which provides insight into how students feel about their educational experience, physical health and emotional well-being. When compared with the last census from five years ago, fewer kids in Grades 7 to 12 enjoy school, feel a sense of belonging and a connection with their teachers. Also, fewer students are physically active and report feeling good about themselves or their appearance, but more say they’re nervous, stressed and worried about grades. And, the amount of time spent on screens, especially socially media, is on the rise.More than 220,000 students and parents completed the census in April 2017, which is done every four or five years to help the TDSB identify changes, trends and needs. The data — provided by kids in Grades 4 to 12 and parents of children in Junior Kindergarten (JK) to Grade 6 — sheds light on what kind of supports are needed system-wide and at individual schools.“The value of this rich data is unparalleled and is a critical tool in determining where support should be focused, where change is required, and also, what is working well,” according to a TDSB report on the overall findings. “Taking action on the data allows the TDSB to respond directly to student and parent voices to develop learning environments that are engaging, inclusive, opportunity-driven and lead to increased learning outcomes.”The TDSB conducted its first student census in November 2006, followed by a parent census in March 2008. The second, a Student and Parent Census, was done in 2011- 2012. This is the third census, and the first to include input from children in Grades 4 to 6. Students completed the census in class and parents were asked to fill out a census form, available in several languages.Read more: Wedded to education — and each other: Married trustees make TD ...
