In today's classrooms, understanding how students think is just as essential as what they think. Anxiety can significantly impact students’ ability to focus, process information, and engage in learning. Join us for a 90-minute webinar that looks into the connection between anxiety and metacognition and explores how we can support children in navigating these challenges.

What You'll Learn:

• What is Metacognition? Gain a foundational understanding of metacognition and why developing students’ awareness of their own thought processes can improve learning outcomes.
• The Impact of Anxiety on Thinking and Learning – Discover how anxiety disrupts cognitive functions, impedes memory, and limits focus, and learn to recognise signs of anxiety that may be affecting students’ classroom experiences.
• Practical Strategies for Classroom teachers – Explore proven strategies to help students manage anxiety, foster self-awareness, and build resilience. Learn ways to create a supportive classroom environment that empowers students to engage fully in their learning journey.

Whether you're a teacher, SENCO, or teaching assistant, this webinar will equip you with tools to foster positive thinking habits and promote a calm, inclusive classroom atmosphere that supports all students.

Why Attend?

This is a must-attend for anyone who works with young people and wants to deepen their understanding of how metacognitive strategies can make a real difference for students with anxiety.
