Manage Your Stress for School Success: Keep Your Brain OPEN for Learning!
Presented by Hettie Johnson, M.A.
The brain must feel safe in order to learn, yet students who struggle often experience brain shut-down as a result of anxiety and frustration. This webinar will discuss and demonstrate explicit strategies to tame anxiety and keep the brain ON-LINE for learning. Participants will learn many practical strategies to help students keep their brain OPEN for learning using the acronym SPA, for Self-talk, Positive mistake correction, and Advocate for yourself. Case studies and video examples will be used to illustrate this concrete set of strategies.
ALIDA wishes to thank the Alabama Scottish Rite Foundation for providing the webinar service.
Sincerely,
Mary Stowe and the ALIDA Board
