Mental Minefields: Helping Students Overcome Learning Obstacles #shorts

About this lesson

Are students' minds like minefields? Setbacks and discomfort can feel like walking through one, especially when students don't know what's holding them back. The role of an educator is to help students understand, and to guide them through difficulties. Meaning, if we ever come across a "mine in their mind", we must stop and take the time to help them understand. Diffuse the mine, cut the wire with them, kneeling down in the mud. The result of a cleared minefield? Just an open field. Where they're free to roam and explore. #studentlife #education #support #teaching #mentoring
