Abstract

How can you make a comprehensive change in addressing student anxiety? Examine some of the most used interventions and why many may do more harm than good. Discover alternative, more effective strategies to directly impact students using parent book groups and professional development. Examine your own reactions to anxiety and how these influence attempted interventions and the students you serve. Walk away with plans to implement both parent and educator book studies.
