| Description |
The following Master of Education thesis explores how classroom anxiety can be managed using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. |
| Abstract |
Students in the United States are experiencing anxiety/mental health issues at alarming rates. Various research supports that unchecked anxiety results in severe, long lasting effects on education, cognitive development, and self esteem in adolescents. Several skills and techniques have been developed that mitigate anxiety's chronic effects, and implementing those methods within educational settings yields decreased long-term impacts. This project explores the designing of a curriculum that teachers of any subject in grades 7-12 can implement within their classrooms. The curriculum was created using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques that have been proven effective by the American Psychiatric Association to aid anxiety/mental health issues. Overall, evaluators of the project recognized both the value and effectiveness of integrating therapeutic techniques and curriculum, and found the instruction seamless to implement. Upon first glance, the therapeutic concepts may appear overwhelming or confusing; however, when presented simply, the curriculum becomes easily accessible and implementable. |
