Stress Less, Learn More: Effective Strategies for Supporting Students in the Classroom (L, S, CRTP)
The “Stress Less, Learn More” class is designed to equip educators with effective strategies for supporting students who experience stress in the classroom. With the increasing demands on students to perform academically, socially, and emotionally, it is important for teachers to have a range of tools to help students manage stress effectively.
This class will explore different types of stress and their impact on students’ ability to learn and perform in the classroom. Participants will learn practical techniques for promoting mindfulness, reducing anxiety, and building resilience in students. In addition to learning specific stress reduction techniques, participants will also learn how to create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment that promotes student well-being. The class will cover topics such as cultivating positive relationships with students, promoting a growth mindset, and developing effective communication strategies.
