@RutgersAltRoute A5: Assessments can be ongoing with chances to check back in for progress. With a growth mindset, students will learn from their own data rather than being scared of it. I need to share the data more with my students so they are a part of the process. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Teachers should praise effort and persistence, not something perceived as fixed, like intelligence. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: When presenting new material you can have high expectations, and communicate that you know they can do it, but it will take hard work and effort. You can also mention that we will make mistakes, and that's part of the learning process. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can praise hard work and perseverance rather than intelligence. Teachers can create a climate where mistakes are welcome, and celebrated as how we learn. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute A1: Mindsets create a challenge if students believe intelligence is fixed, because their belief that they can learn and change needs to be first taught. If we teach a growth mindset, students will take on challenges and grow.

@MarnieSeaIsle @RutgersAltRoute I agree that making this part of the curriculum really helps. It’s an important skill we need to teach. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@elavender919 @RutgersAltRoute Yes, as a first year teacher it was hard to start a consistent plan from the beginning, because I didn’t totally know what to expect. I know next year will be much smoother. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@msolivia_DR @RutgersAltRoute Yes this is a hard line to balance. I probably need to be more consistent. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@WRodneyRedman @RutgersAltRoute I’m going to try this in my music room with some instruments as much as possible. In addition to full class instrument and movement activities. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@FurnissGillian @RutgersAltRoute I need to do more of this. I had an end of semester project in December that overwhelmed a lot of my students. Next time around I’ll break it up. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@msolivia_DR @RutgersAltRoute Yeah, I also appreciate an organized room. I know I function better and it helps the students. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@DjuricGianna @RutgersAltRoute Thank you for this. I sometimes get excited about the content but need to remember to slow down and be patient. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@Jessica31191161 @RutgersAltRoute I know I need to use more timers and break up assignments more. This would help most of the class. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@BTECS_ @RutgersAltRoute This gave me the idea as a music teacher that I can try handing out a couple instruments to students who need to hold something or move. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@nicoleemmadison @RutgersAltRoute Yes, I agree that every student needs to feel safe, and comfortable to advocate for their own needs. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@arwhite1995 @RutgersAltRoute That’s a great strategy. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@mrs_w_teaches @RutgersAltRoute Yes, I love this! #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@diegobadillamus @Sharlene_Laud @RutgersAltRoute Also teaching music, I agree it can be daunting when you teach the entire school. But you can get a sense of different talents and needs by just being aware and attentive. #AltRtEd #sped

[D LACKNER @D_LACKNER_]

@zoedepop @RutgersAltRoute Also a music teacher and not a tweeter. I have noticed my students engage in many different ways. Sometimes half the class is sitting, half the class standing and 3 kids are dancing. As long as I feel they are all participating in their own way I keep moving. #AltRtEd #Sped
