There’s no question that the recently released 2023 B.C. Adolescent Health Survey administered by the McCreary Centre Society, a non-government not-for-profit committed to improving the health of B.C. youth, is an incredibly detailed and potentially useful piece of research.
Given the wealth of information, it may seem picky to point out that the report comes up a bit light when it comes to school experiences, given that school is where the kids who were the subject of the research spend a major chunk of their waking hours for 190 days each year. Feeling connected to school was generally highest for students in Grade 7, but that feeling decreased in Grades 8 and 9, and then generally remained steady for the higher grades.
What, to my way of thinking at least, is missing from all this is any analysis about the implications for students’ sense of “safety” and belonging at school, which might include a study of a variety of instructional practices, forms of classroom organization and even school design. Good classrooms should be “designed to make attending school an interesting and pleasurable experience,” the researchers concluded, balancing visual stimulation with comfort and a sense of ownership.
