Anxiety, Trauma & Emotional Dysregulation in the Classroom

Thursday, March 28 • 1:00 pm

https://charter.support/webinar/emotional_classroom/

Understanding how stress, anxiety, and trauma impact a student’s observable behavior and ability to learn is imperative for educator success. Explore the basic physiology of the autonomic nervous system, identify life stressors with impact on development, and consider the effect of interpersonal experiences on learning and behavioral outcomes. Recognize the signs and symptoms of problematic distress, connect this to challenging behavior you may observe in students, and explore how traditional methods of responding to this behavior can potentially exacerbate the problem. This webinar will provide tools for appropriately responding to student distress, achieving optimal success, and enhancing emotional resilience. Join us for this session presented by Natalie James, who is a Counselor and Child Life Specialist with DreamBranch Education.
