Reaching and Teaching
Stressed and Anxious Students Online Course
Instructor: Barbara Oehlberg, MA
In every classroom there are students who have experienced grievous losses. For some, these losses have been multiple; for some, they have been sudden and shocking, throwing the entire family into crisis. The feelings that may be experienced under the umbrella of fear include a sense of abandonment, betrayal, helplessness, shame, hopelessness, disappointment, sadness, grief and depression. While these feelings emerge out of perceptions or interpretations, not reality, the feelings are very real to youngsters and ultimately drive their behaviors, that is, until the feelings are transformed. The appropriate behaviors cannot be resolved until the children have had an opportunity to symbolically process and integrate their loss.
The good news is that there is a wealth of sensory activities that permit children to connect with the overwhelming memories in order to externalize the imprint of terror and helplessness and over come it. This course will provide the information and interventions needed for teachers to reach and teach these students.
Cost of taking this course online is $100. Upon successful completion of assignments tests and evaluation, a certificate of completion can be downloaded.
