Hope this is the right place for this question. I'm a high school teacher and I wonder, if you have anxiety at school (especially for tests and marks, but also in general for being at school), what would you like teachers to do that could help you feel better?
I have a student in particular that has this kind of problems, and I try to be there for him, but some more inputs wouldn't hurt.
(I want to add that I'm a support teacher, so I can't decide how to lead the class activities or how to test him...this maybe limits a bit what I can do. But the positive thing in my role is that sometimes students trust you a bit more; for example, when a couple times I saw this student of mine upset for something or down because of a low mark, and I tried to talk to him, he did open up a bit).
I don't want to be pushy and I know I can't do miracles, but since he seems willing to get the help, I'd like to do and/or say useful things if the occasion comes.
Thanks if you have ideas
