Helping Minds Work Together Part 1 - Good Stress/Bad Stress
30 Apr, 202012:00 BST1 hour
Opogo, alongside partner Steve Carr, are hosting a FREE Lunch & Learn webinar covering how we deal with Good Stress and Bad Stress during challenging times.The word ‘stress’ has many negative connotations. However, psychology tells us that a certain amount of stress or it’s awkward cousin ‘anxiety’ is an essential ingredient of any successful learning environment.
In order to step towards new learning, students have to take a step out of their comfort zone into the unknown. Learning is risky. That’s why it’s exciting!
Steve is an experienced teacher and a double Masters graduate in Relationship Psychology. He works with teachers, team leaders and schools to promote collaborative approaches to classroom management. His aim is to support teachers to develop as people as well as professionals and bring commitment, resilience and creativity to their work.
The Lunch & Learn workshops are part of Opogo’s Care Package offering whereby we support the education community with a series of relevant events and workshops aimed at upskilling and supporting you while at home.
The webinar will be taking place at 12 pm Thursday 30th April which you can sign onto via the comfort and safety of your own home. A LIVE Q&A with Steve will take place on Opogo’s Community discussion platform following the event so be sure to sign-on!

We look forward to seeing you there!

I missed the answer to my question – sorry. It was about managing anxiety around returning to work after the lockdown.
It was great fun to share what I have learned about the place of anxiety and stress in the teaching and learning process. Looking forward to next week when we take the discussion on a step and think about building confidence
