I do common things in an Uncommon way.

@RutgersAltRoute thank you! I learned to focus feedback on growth, effort, and small improvements rather than just right or wrong answers. Using simple language, flexible assessments, and chances to revise work helps my 6th graders see learning as something they can improve with practice.

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute I give my autistic students simple, clear feedback that focuses on effort and improvement. For example, I say, “You tried a new strategy—that’s great,” or “You didn’t get it yet, but you’re getting closer.” I also use specific praise like, “I like how you sounded out that word"

@RutgersAltRoute My 6th grade ABA class works at a 2nd grade level, so traditional grade-level tests can be frustrating & don’t always show what they really know. An opportunity is to adjust assessments by using simpler language, visuals, and hands-on tasks, and to focus more on individual growth

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute I would choose words and actions that focus on effort, progress, and learning. For example, I’d say “you’re improving” or “not yet” and treat mistakes as part of learning. I’d also model persistence and encourage reflection so students see that growth comes with practice.

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute We can promote a growth mindset by creating a classroom where students feel safe to make mistakes and try again. They can use materials that challenge students and show that learning takes time and effort. Giving students chances to explain their thinking, improve their work.

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute Mindset shapes how students approach learning. A negative mindset can limit progress, while a positive, growth-focused mindset can unlock persistence, confidence, and better learning outcomes. #teachered

@RutgersAltRoute A5: strengthen tiered support systems, invest in teacher training and collaboration, standardize inclusive instructional practices, and adjust grading and assessment practices.

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Empowering students with disabilities has to be taught, modeled, and practiced over time. I help them identify their strengths, challenges, and what supports actually help them. For example, a student with ADHD might recognize they focus better with short work intervals

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: Plan with flexibility from the start, make content explicit and structured, use scaffolds that can fade over time, leverage assistive and everyday technology, build in participation, normalize supports and differences, and connect strengths and interests.

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: I often break assignments into smaller, clearly defined steps with checkpoints. Instead of “finish the essay,” it becomes: brainstorm → outline → intro paragraph → draft. This reduces overwhelm and helps with task initiation

[Susana Erazo @AlizeeJamess]

@RutgersAltRoute A1 #TeacherEd #SpEd Students with learning disabilities don’t form a single, uniform group—conditions like Dyslexia, ADHD, or Autism affect students in very different ways. Designing instruction that supports all of them without singling anyone out can be demanding.

I’m not interested in a man that has kids. & I’m not sorry about that. I stand firm on this.

it’s been a while

Introverts hate fake people. The two-faced. The sweet-tongued. The show-offs. People who are full on the surface but empty inside. They care about people who are real. Simple. Humble. And above all, bone deep honest.
