We are all living through turbulent times. How can we best equip ourselves for this new reality as teachers? And how can we help both ourselves and our students stay present, in this ever-changing landscape? In this session, Emma Reynolds explores how we can turn towards those challenging moments using practical tools that allow us to be more compassionate when difficult emotions arise. She explores what stress is, how it affects us and what we can do to nurture a sense of calm in the classroom.
