How to Optimise Learning for Anxious Learners

About the talk

Anxiety quietly undermines student performance — diminishing attention, confidence and cognitive capacity.

For many students, the stress response is triggered way before a session even begins.

This practical, engaging session is for teachers, trainers and school staff, developing skills to heighten their ability to support anxious and neurodivergent students, facilitating greater student focus, information retention and ultimately a greater return on their training delivery.

Key takeaways

How to adapt pre-course communications to reduce anxiety triggers
Techniques to improve the start of training sessions to support all learners
Adapt delivery styles to increase engagement
Create a psychologically safe learning environment
Help students reach a mental state that supports participation

Let�s Talk

Creating an environment to support anxious learners

“I joined a webinar delivered by Caroline Cavanagh to members of the CPD standards office. The talk was helpful for raising awareness and succeeded in furthering my understanding of anxiety, but more practically it has given me some actions which I'll use to improve how we serve our clients. Caroline is clearly a subject matter expert and delivered her content in a way that was thought provoking, engaging and most importantly, motivated me to take action which will cascade through to the people I work with.”
