DESIGNING A COURSE FOR PERFORMANCE ANXIETY IN EDUCATION

Abstract

Presenting and performing is part of many subjects within the Ontario curriculum. Teachers, themselves, are also expected to perform with very few strategies for success. This course offers information about performance anxiety and coping strategies to help in-service teachers and their students. This project was created as an eight-hour class for in-service teachers. It is designed into four separate classes and can therefore be used for professional development (independently from the rest of the course).
