Supporting Students with Anxiety on the Return to School: Part Two

In this episode of Think Different, Teach Better, we move from understanding anxiety to action.
We explore practical, evidence-informed strategies teachers can use every day to support anxious students — without lowering expectations or increasing dependence.

We discuss:
• Predictability, routines and pre-correction
• Co-regulation and emotional safety
• Dr Claire Hayes’ Inverted Triangle
• Reducing reassurance and building coping capacity
• Uncertainty training in the classroom

This episode is for educators who want to create calm, inclusive learning environments where students feel safe enough to learn — even when things feel hard.
