Graded fake papers with a big red pen and when I was 10. ESL teacher, supermom, love to write and read in between

@RutgersAltRoute Incorporating a growth mindset into my lessons whenever possible would help not fall back into a fixed mindset. #AltRtEd #growthmindset

@JackMah05665103 @RutgersAltRoute Can you give me an example of written notes that you mentioned in your tweet?

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@Mary603233322 @RutgersAltRoute Rubrics are a great way to a encourage growth mindset

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@MariaCastiglia7 @RutgersAltRoute That's good...I had to read your tweet twice to get it because they sound similar, but they are different!

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@NickMontagna1 @RutgersAltRoute I love the idea of reminding them that mistakes are positive because they learn from them!

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute I would like to do a mini-lesson on a growth mindset. I teach ESL, so this would really help my students with the negative thinking they have when reading, writing, and speaking. #AltRtEd #growthmindset

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@AmeliaIrmer @RutgersAltRoute I love the idea of a mini-lesson on self-talk and the differences between negative and positive thoughts!

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@ASingh60290388 @RutgersAltRoute These thoughts are very common for students and adults. This is why I love the growth mindset approach; it is helpful for any age.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute A challenge would be negative thinking, such as, "I can't do it," rather than, "I can learn this."

@RutgersAltRoute Good morning

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@jwinkler413 @RutgersAltRoute Yes, I agree "picking battles" is something that is very important. Some can be ignored and some cannot. I use Class Dojo.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute Make sure they understand the rules and routines and use Class Dojo.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@joshadelaney @RutgersAltRoute I love that idea! That is a safe way to critique work.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@zoedepop @RutgersAltRoute I love the idea of a sensory box! We have roller chairs which helps with fidgeting.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@nic_west23 @RutgersAltRoute i also allow extra time for assignments which is very helpful for the students stress levels.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute For virtual learning, it would be helpful to give the student with ADHD a specific job otherwise he/she will lose focus.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute Students can create opportunities for students with disabilities like ADHD by allowing them to have a responsible role in the classroom. Usually, students who have ADHD get negative attention, so this would help with that. AltRtEd #Sped

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@bchampagne1021 @RutgersAltRoute I have experienced this , as well. It puts teachers in a tough spot when this is the case.

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute I can empower my students with disabilities to be advocates in the classroom requiring them to speak up instead of answering questions for them and advocating for them all the time. Of course, I would be present to help them, if needed. #AltRtEd #Sped

[Amy @Amy42812882]

@RutgersAltRoute I create an environment that brings out the strengths of the students who have disabilites. This gives them opportunities to shine in class!
