@RutgersAltRoute A5: I believe that the best thing you can do as a teacher is to gain the trust of your students, and garner a relationship where the students know that you are there to listen to their feelings and can help mediate any issues. #SafeSchools #TeacherEd

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: any form of HIB discourages students from participating and being active learners. Your lesson can be amazing but if there are students who aren’t in a safe space for learning it won’t matter. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: during our PLCs my colleagues and I discuss if students should switch home rooms, or which students don’t get along. We try to start the new school year with as little issues as possible. #SafeSchools #TeacherEd

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Whenever one of my students complains to me about another student I try to have them rationalize their feelings and most of the time they realize that their feelings for that person are no justified. I also try to implement the golden rule. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I currently have the students sign a classroom contract where one of the rules involves being a good classmate and not bullying others. I make sure that the existing groups that I have all work well together. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute I’ve implemented Class Dojo to make announcements to parents, as well as, invite parents to the google classrooms. I also update PowerTeacher consistently so parents can monitor their students’ progress. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute Technology makes many tasks more feasible and provides more outlets for a students to complete their work; however, when the technology can fail (broken Chromebooks) or be used as a crutch and prevent demonstration of learning (using ChatGPT) #TeacherEd #edTech

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute Fortunately, my school hosts PLCs as well as GLM (grade-level meetings). During these meetings we monitor our students’ progress across various subjects, and discuss ways to craft interdisciplinary lessons #EdTech #TeacherEd

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute There are two issues. 1) Chromebooks are usually left at home or broken with no immediate replacement. 2) Students don’t know how to access certain sites. I prepare physical copies or computer partners, and provide tech buddies to assist with issues #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@Sharlene_Laud @RutgersAltRoute A combination of both! I’ll sometimes add my own question that I believe will enhance the conversation, or be more divisive to make the conversation more engaging

@RutgersAltRoute A5: As a teacher, I have the opportunity to make the assessment standards transparent, provide written feedback, and create multiple chances for mastery #TeacherEd #growthmindset

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute Actionable*

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Teachers may provide written sectional feedback so that the student knows how they can improve. For discussion, teachers can provide verbal and or physical feedback through hand gestures, etc. #Growthmindset #Teachered

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I constantly tell my students that life is not without failure, and that we can only grow through failing. I believe that instilling this mindset rather than a fixed mindset will prepare the student for any further obstacles in their life. #TeacherEd #growthmindset #eslchat

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@alt07276 @RutgersAltRoute Yes, the written feedback is more important than the letter grade

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can promote a growth mindset by providing written feedback, making expectations clear from the beginning, and praise a student for their effort rather than intelligence. #TeacherEd #growthmindset

[Joaquin Caceres @JoaCac2117]

@AngelaGirardi22 @RutgersAltRoute I agree, many students have this predetermined mindset
