How Can I Help Students Become Comfortable with the Uncomfortable?
As educators, we know that supporting students’ long-term success goes beyond just teaching academic content. It’s about creating environments that encourage growth, risk-taking, and resilience. When students don’t feel safe or feel a level of trust with their instructor, they can become disengaged, withdrawn, and less willing to participate in the classroom. Students won’t be able to reach their full learning potential if they aren’t fully comfortable in your classroom.
In this 20-Minute Mentor, presented by Alicia Burns, EdD, focuses on the crucial role of psychological safety in fostering student confidence and unlocking their full potential. She’ll dive into practical strategies for cultivating a comfortable learning environment where students feel empowered to take risks and ask challenging questions. Alicia also shares insights on building student confidence, navigating difficult times, and embracing mistakes as valuable learning opportunities.
You’ll gain the necessary tools and skills to gauge and enhance students’ comfort levels to ultimately foster trust and a sense of belonging in your classroom. With Alicia Burns, EdD, as your guide, you’ll learn how to create judgment-free spaces where students can truly be themselves, paving the way for meaningful learning experiences and long-term success!
