Can addressing student anxiety transform the educational environment? Join us in this insightful episode as we discuss the transformative Anxiety Project in New South Wales public schools with Rob Walker, Deputy President of the New South Wales Primary Principals Association. Rob takes us through the project's beginnings, inspired by a pivotal 2020 study, and the collaborative journey with child psychologist Michael Horton to create a comprehensive program aimed at alleviating student anxiety. Learn how this initiative is reshaping schools, with extensive training for leaders, staff, and parents and stage-appropriate lessons for students, already making a difference in 113 schools and impacting 39,000 students.
In the next segment, we delve into the concept of the locus of control and its significance in young people's lives, particularly within education. Understand how fostering an internal locus of control can empower children to take charge of their lives, leading to improved academic outcomes and greater emotional stability. We share practical strategies for schools to encourage this mindset and discuss the requirements for schools to join the anxiety project. Rob Walker also shares exciting news about the project's potential expansion beyond New South Wales, emphasizing the ongoing importance of data in shaping effective educational strategies.
