An anxious brain impacts a student’s ability to learn and retain knowledge. This workshop will be spent discussing the neurological origins of anxiety and how they may be impacting a student’s ability to learn, regulate, and perform while at school. Educators will learn strategies for identifying patterns of anxiety in their students, and also will be exposed to a variety of practical tips for working with anxious students.
