IMPACT Live!

Thanks Hawkes Learning and Janet Zadina for opening the 2020 virtual conference!​ Anxiety and stress is quite literally PAINful! Remember:

Recognize: The fight-flight-freeze response is likely taking over and inhibiting our and our students' executive functioning.
Recover: Use diaphragmatic breathing and the 4-7-8 breath to calm down the brain
Renew: Practice even brief moments of focused attention or awareness (also known as mindfulness or meditation) to reengage the executive functioning
Reduce: Keep that allostatic load from climbing over and over again by managing and, as much as possible, minimizing additional stress inputs: eat right, exercise, say no, don't overschedule, etc.
Rewire: Choose what you pay attention to, choose gratitude to help your brain rewire and process the stress in a way that won't inhibit your future health.

Thanks Janet Zadina and Hawkes Learning for opening the #AMATYC2020 Virtual Conference with a new brain cycle to interrupt our current anxiety, recover some of our executive functioning, and hopefully prevent chronic PTSD from current events. Tips for both us and our students!

A feeling of self-efficacy, or a feeling of being able to cope, is an important piece of overcoming math anxiety.

Nice set of resources.  I plan on spending more time checking out the Executive Function and Self-Regulation link https://developingchild.harvard.edu/science/key-concepts/executive-function/ For one of my journal entries, I have students take a 10 question quiz about the brain.  Many write about liking that and I can see how this could be a good follow up.

I liked the strategies about dealing with anxiety.  Also, I want to focus on how, when, where I am contributing to that anxiety.  I would think that some students are thinking, "I wouldn't need these anxiety strategies if you didn't do..."

When you just can't sit still enough to meditate, consider try a moving meditation such as meditative drumming, martial arts, etc.
