Description:
There has been an increase in the numbers of students who are suffering from anxiety in today’s classrooms. Early reports suggest that this level of anxiety may increase as students respond to the COVID pandemic. Feelings of anxiety will prevent students from engaging in learning or achieving their potential. These barriers can be frustrating for the teacher and the student and can often lead to the student removing themselves further from the learning community. In this course the presenter will explore techniques that you can use when you are working with students who suffer from anxiety, helping you to re-engage the students while they deal with their condition.  An important session for teachers and it will also be helpful for Learning Support Officers working one to one or with small groups of students.
