This book provides teachers with a window into the minds of learners with anxiety, as well as practical strategies and advice that will empower them to adapt their practice to better meet the needs of these learners.
Lilian Surgeson is a classroom teacher and currently works for an online alternative provision for learners who are unable to physically attend school - the vast majority due to anxiety. She teaches learners who communicate through text chat, many of whom have flourished outside of the traditional classroom environment. She has worked predominantly with challenging and vulnerable learners for over seven years in mainstream schools where she successfully raised the attainment of previously disruptive learners. She also has experience working with learners with SEMH and has been a teacher in residential children's homes, where she worked with some of the most challenging children in the UK, re-engaging them in learning.
