These slides were developed for a teaching and learning conference in Lincolnshire.
Here’s the session overview:
Anxiety in Class: 10 Ideas for Preventing and Managing
Unlock the tools needed to help students break free from the anxiety cycle, overcome perfectionism, and actively engage in their education. With simple yet powerful techniques, you’ll empower your students to step out of their comfort zones, build resilience, and take charge of their mental health. You’ll also learn the importance of attending to your own wellbeing. Join Pooky to gain the tools and strategies needed to support anxious students, fostering a classroom environment where they can break free from the anxiety cycle, thrive both within and beyond the classroom.
If you were there, I hope these are a helpful aide-memoire. If not, I hope they make enough sense without me to be useful. If you’d like to download them, you can do so via this page on slideshare.
