About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in child psychology and the instructor for the new course "Advanced Certificate in Social Anxiety Triggers in the Classroom." Dr. Smith, can you tell us what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, social anxiety is a common issue that impacts many students' learning and well-being. I wanted to provide educators, school counselors, and therapists with practical strategies to identify and address these triggers effectively. HOST: That's wonderful. Can you share some common anxiety triggers you'll be discussing in the course? GUEST: Of course, we'll cover triggers like public speaking, group projects, and challenging classroom dynamics. These situations can cause significant stress for students with social anxiety. HOST: How can understanding these triggers help educators improve student engagement and academic performance? GUEST: By recognizing these triggers, educators can develop evidence-based interventions and classroom management techniques to create inclusive learning environments. This support helps anxious students feel more comfortable, fostering better engagement and academic success. HOST: I see. What challenges have you encountered in teaching this subject, and how have you addressed them? GUEST: A key challenge is helping learners understand the nuances of social anxiety. To tackle this, I incorporate real-world examples, case studies, and interactive activities to make the content more relatable and engaging. HOST: That's a great approach. Looking forward, what do you think the future holds for addressing social anxiety triggers in the classroom? GUEST: I believe we'll see more emphasis on mental health awareness and support in educational settings. As a society, we're becoming more open to discussing mental health, which will lead to more resources and training for educators to better assist students with social anxiety.
