Maths anxiety and zone of regulation with Sue Johnston-Wilder.

When: Monday 29th January

Date: 16:00 - 17:00

The webinar is for everyone who wishes to understand more about how to address maths anxiety or avoidance..

This may include teachers - of any subject - teaching assistants, parents and adults who know someone who avoids maths.

If we can address maths anxiety it is as if we take off the emotional handbrake on maths progress, starting from wherever the learner feels secure.
