Student anxiety can be a difficult-to-overcome hurdle when it comes to success in the classroom, but what are you as a teacher supposed to do to help?
“Anxious,” penned by Christine Ravesi-Weinstein and published by Times 10 Publications, is your new best friend when it comes to handling an anxious student.
This guide was released in 2020 to help educators battle the anxiety felt in and out of the classroom due to the pandemic, and the advice has only grown more relevant.
The author explores ways to create a safer, more understanding classroom space that encourages students to pursue inquiry on their own accord.
She also lays out what she feels are the key factors at play in the mind of an anxious student: grades, peer and parental pressures, and lack of study time.
The tips she provides stem from a combination of personal experience grappling with clinical anxiety and from her time as a classroom instructor.
With this guide in hand, you will be able to more closely tap in to student emotions and come to more fully understand their predicament. They will thank you!
