We can't fight biologically. We have to be willing to recognize that this process is at play in a student. Give them a chance to biologically shift into a frame of mind that will lead to learning, and then they can actually have the ability to re-engage.
Ever felt like stress is taking over your classroom? You're not alone. In this episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E., Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore dive into the biological mechanics of stress and its impact on learning. Imagine trying to teach a lesson while your students are in fight, flight, or freeze mode – it's nearly impossible.
The hosts break down how our bodies react to stress, from adrenaline spikes to racing hearts, and why these reactions make absorbing new information so tough. They discuss the dangers of just 'soldiering through' traumatic situations and the importance of recognizing and addressing stress responses. With real-life examples and practical advice, this episode sheds light on how educators can help students navigate stress.
If you're a teacher, parent, or anyone interested in the effects of stress on learning, this conversation is packed with insights that could make a world of difference in your approach.
