Stress can be good and bad for learning. Sometimes it can make us laser-focused, and other times it leaves us floundering. Sometimes it can drive us to action, and other times it can freeze us in our tracks. What is the deal with stress and why can it have so many different outcomes? During this session, you will explore this topic and differentiate between good and bad stress. Explore several concrete actions you can take to use good stress to improve learning and beneficial ways to respond to bad stress in our own lives. Finally, you will explore the larger issue of emotions and consider what role they play in the learning process..
