Fast and Directive: The Impact of Speedy Teaching on Student Mental Health

We tend to be fast and directive like: do it, get it done. I correct, correct, they are for behavior...I wonder how much of it is just the pace.
Imagine a classroom where the pace never slows down, and educators are constantly in 'go' mode. In this episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E., hosts Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore dive into the fast-paced nature of teaching and its effects on mental health. They tackle the question: Is the relentless speed and directive approach in education doing more harm than good?
The trio shares personal stories and practical tips, offering a candid look at how slowing down can actually enhance relationships with students and better meet their needs. With their signature blend of humor and insight, the hosts explore how a more engaged, less hurried approach can foster a supportive learning environment. Whether you're an educator, parent, or simply interested in mental health in schools, this episode provides valuable perspectives on creating a nurturing space for students.
