As teachers, we can probably best help students keep anxiety at a facilitative level by:
a. downplaying the importance of education; putting less emphasis on working hard and more on relaxing and having fun.
b. allowing them to work at whatever subjects they like best until they feel ready to tackle other, perhaps more difficult subjects.
c. communicating to them that they can succeed with effort, and that mistakes can be corrected.
d. reminding them how important it is that they demonstrate mastery of the school district's instructional objectives for the year.
