EASE K–7

The Everyday Anxiety Strategies for Educators (EASE) lessons are available at no cost for Primary (K–3) and Intermediate (4–7) educators. They can be accessed upon completion of the EASE K-7 online course.

The EASE K–7 online course includes six sections:

Introducing EASE
The Educator’s Role in Mental Health
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety in the Classroom
Creating a Supportive Environment
Tying It All Together

You will complete a series of interactive activities and create an action plan for using EASE strategies with your students. The activities are intended to help you further build a supportive learning environment for all students.

The EASE K–7 course will help you:

understand anxiety and recognize it both in your students and in yourself
understand the difference between everyday and problem anxiety
understand the psychological theory that informs the EASE classroom lessons and the cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles on which they are based
strengthen your mental health literacy

AISE – Apaiser l’Anxiété : Interventions et stratégies pour les éducateurs/trices, the French translation of EASE K–7, was developed through a partnership with School District 93, Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique.

On completing EASE K–7 or AISE m à 7, you’ll receive a certificate of completion and access to the EASE classroom lessons in English and French.

The EASE K–7 classroom lessons have been adapted for parents and caregivers to use with children at home. Educators can share the EASE at Home link with students’ parents and caregivers.
