🧩 Attribute: Anxiety & Performance Pressure
EA Field Overview & Support Focus
- Domains:
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL - Observable Indicators: Perfectionism, frequent requests to visit nurse/washroom, freeze response during tests, catastrophic thinking ('I'm going to fail').
- Primary Support: Implementing the CARD system (Comfort, Ask, Relax, Distract), discrete regulation passes, and non-judgmental low-pressure check-ins.
⚡ 1. Rapid Field Guidance for EAs
💡 Proactive Classroom Accommodations
- Subtle Regulation Pass: Provide a discrete card the student can place on the desk to take a 3-minute quiet break.
- Private Praise & Feedback: Offer feedback on sticky notes or during quiet 1:1 check-ins rather than public callouts.
- Choice Architecture: Offer two acceptable paths to complete an assignment to rebuild control.
⚠️ De-escalation & What to Avoid
- Early Indicators: Rapid breathing, physical trembling, repetitive questions, somatic complaints.
- De-escalation Protocol: Acknowledge anxiety neutrally; invite student to execute CARD strategy or access quiet regulation pass.
- Avoid: Minimizing worries ('It's easy, don't worry'), standing directly over student, or public callouts.
