Strategies for Managing Emotional Distress in the Classroom
The increasing complexity of students’ academic and emotional needs means teachers are often focusing more instructional time on behavior management than in the past. The highly diverse set of needs is also a factor in teacher burnout.
These four strategies can help teachers manage students whose ability to control their emotional responses is compromised:
1. Leverage technology for student-centered instruction.
2. Combine structure and student autonomy.
3. Focus less on disengagement and more on reengagement.
4. Use whole-class discussions for non-content challenges.
Read more about these student-centered strategies in this Education Week piece from Kareem Farah, CEO and co-founder of the nonprofit The Modern Classrooms Project.
