Date: Tuesday, October 20
Time: 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT
Duration: One hour
Presented by:

Implementation Specialist
In adult education, low math self-efficacy remains a significant obstacle, frequently stemming from a student’s deep-seated belief that they are incapable of mastering mathematics. This fear not only limits academic and professional growth but also imposes a cognitive strain that impairs problem-solving and memory. By investigating the origins of math anxiety and its impact on student persistence, this session seeks to tackle this issue head-on.
Participants will explore how these anxieties stall progress and will walk away with proven methods to shift the narrative. We will showcase techniques designed to lower cognitive hurdles and cultivate an empowering, effective educational space where students can move beyond their fears to achieve lasting mathematical success.
What you’ll learn:
Identify the root causes of math anxiety and its effect on learner progress.
Lower cognitive load so students can focus on the material, not the fear.
Create a math-positive culture that encourages even the most discouraged students to try again.
Apply educator-tested strategies to build lasting math success.
Participants who complete the full session will receive a Certificate of Attendance for one hour of Professional Development.
