@RutgersAltRoute @Corey_Cohen10 @IndraLynOwens @Martinez_EdTech Thank you. #teachered #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute I know they would feel apprehensive about coming to school/class. Making sure conversations about them being in a safe and loving environment are continuous. Being contentious about small groups created. Involve them in projects , praise them to help with self esteem.#safeschools

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute The opportunities that come up are based on discussions and modeling of what positive, kind behavior and actions should sound like or look like. The challenges are where the conflict will keep causing disruptions while instruction is ongoing. #Teachered #safeschools

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute Communication is ongoing with families and resources are shared from our SEL curriculum. During GLM we collaborate about techniques used to help foster a more positive and kind approach in our classroom. Culture team also steps in to have mediations with students/and families.

@RutgersAltRoute Start off the day with morning meetings , a chance to make connections right In the beginning of the day.Definitely keep them grouped into small groups. Communication is ongoing with families. Constant movement around class.Modeling kindness and similar Environment #safeschools

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute From the beginning of the school I have had a daily conversation about being kind to one another. The reasons behind that and how we’re a school family and should be respectful, and kind. We also teach SEL. Big focus on kindness.##safeschools #teachered

@RutgersAltRoute I use Remind Im able to send out notifications, reminders but most importantly updating them on the different exciting activities we have going on. I also send out links /access information for educational programs students can use outside of school. #edtech #teachered

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute Technology allows us to have more access, exposure , collaboration, innovation with information to best educate our students. The challenges would be figuring out what works best for you and your students. How to incorporate it into your lessons. #edtech #teachered

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute My grade level lead is more comfortable and experienced with the use of technology in her classroom. Always shares any project she is working on or slides /use of technology. We have great collaborative opportunities during our grade level meetings. #Teachered #Edtech

@RutgersAltRoute @EDtheScienceGuy @MsAshleyShanley @mskb26 @techcoachjuarez In my school we have to write a work ticket . But I’ve become familiar with the IT staff and have their personal cell #’s on hand for quicker communication. Ask for one or two extra chrome-books/iPads as well. Just in case issues come up you have backups.#teachered

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute The loss of connection or loading issues. I have to make sure to have a backup plan just in case. Another issue for my students..would be limiting access to inappropriate sites and difficulty logging in . #teachered

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute Definitely which we had more pd’s where technology was the topic and we could get more hands on experience. Some barriers or issues would be not having adequate time to familiarize myself with all of the components featured in the apps. #teachered

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute I’ve become
More comfortable using technology in my classroom. When using the interactive content from our curriculum students are not only more engaged but helps me keep track of the lesson. #edtech #teachered

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute For my first graders I use technology when we are working as a whole group. I like using the interactive content availability in the curriculum based apps. Keeps them more engaged as opposed to me just using a textbook to teach from.

@RutgersAltRoute We use a lot of pre-assessment opportunities and exit tickets. I would love to work on more diverse hands on assessments my students. Using their interests and incorporating them in these assessments.

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute Any feedback should be specific. Concentrating on their strengths and what they did well. Then guiding to work on other areas that might need a little work. But focusing on how they grew academically . I’ve seen a confidence in my students when we have these discussions.

[Barbara Agostini @BarbaraA2424]

@RutgersAltRoute Focusing on language used in the classroom along as using their interests and passions in our lessons to help bring out more engagement and motivation in my students. Continuing to look how I can deliver my lessons , questions, time for them to think and answer.
