Class Experience

Middle school is a time when many students struggle with anxiety. This inhibits their ability to learn. 
In this course students will be armed with  knowledge about the brain and stress response. They will be introduced to the the three main parts of the brain and learn, through a variety of illustrations, what causes the brain to move from executive functioning to stress functioning. 
Each week, the class will follow this basic format:

-  Fun ice breaker activity

- Mini lesson about the brain

- Introduction of a new technique for calming the brain

- Short assignment.  Examples: Draw a picture or chart of what 
   goes on in the brain during stress; create a comic strip with characters representing 
   the 3 parts of the brain; write a short story or poem about anxiety; make a poster 
   showing one of the strategies.

Students will be encouraged to keep a private journal of their own stress journeys.

A kind, respectful learning environment will be maintained at all times.

This club is not intended in any way to be a form of therapy.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the biological reasons for anxiety and be given strategies that are effective in dealing with it.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
 I trained in and used the Conscious Discipline program that was adopted in my school district. I saw improvements in student learning as a result of teaching about brain functions.  I studied adolescent psychology as part of my teacher coursework. I am an empathic teacher who has always considered students' emotional health of primary importance in their education. Most recently I studied brain research and its application in education.
