Stress can have a debilitating effect on learning capabilities - and resilience is a key mechanism to cope with adversity
Our students face many challenges in their lives and undertaking training can be a very stressful experience for them - for a number of reasons.
As educators, we can mitigate some of the negative impacts of stress with simple, explicit strategies to support students and build student resilience in the face of change. The ability to 'bounce back' from setbacks and adversity and to cope with and adapt to change is a necessary life skill and a key predictor of success.
This session will:
- Explain ways to help build students' resilience
- Outline ways you can develop students' emotional intelligence
- Discuss explicit teaching strategies you can employ to reduce student stress from study and training expectations
- Help you select alternative ways of learning to empower students
- Show ideas for how to support students to deal with, at times, complex issues that may add stress to study and life in general
As part of the learning in this session, explore:
- What resilience is and how it's linked to experience

- Emotional intelligence and its impact on coping with stress
- Some of the triggers of stress in the learning environment and how to anticipate these and facilitate student understanding of the situation - work to eliminate stress-causing 'surprises' for students
