Befriending the anxious mind- a practical path to calm in the classroom

Clearly we’re all living through unprecedented times. So how do we keep calm and focused in the face of all this uncertainty? In this dynamic session we will explore not only how to help students deal with fear and anxiety, but also take a closer look at the very thinking that creates these emotions to begin with. What happens when we question our own negative thinking? Is it possible to see these moments as opportunities to practice dealing better with stress? And how can you as teachers resource yourselves to be calmer and more present, ready to be with whatever the future holds? Join Emma Reynolds, accredited Mindfulness teacher, in this dynamic, interactive and insightful session, full of practical tools to keep stress levels down in the class.
