@RutgersAltRoute A6: As the video suggest, I need to ignore minor behavior, specially when the student do it to call my attention, and provide more positive praise and feedback. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I think creating a checklist for students will work because they can stay more organized as well more independent. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Modify work, making directions and class rules as clear as possible. Students with IEPs get additional to complete classwork. Also, limiting questions during independent practice and test. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: Teachers need to be familiarized themselves with the student's IEP, specially with student's accommodation. Having communication with student's case manager and last but not least, PATIENT #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Providing different way of communication with the teacher. Some students might feel uncomfortable talking in front of the class, but they are comfortable sending an email. Reminding the students about their strengths and be able to understand their weaknesses. #AltREd #SpED

@RutgersAltRoute A1. My biggest challenge is modifying the lesson for my LDs in order for them to understand and complete the assignments, but yet making sure that they do not get the impression they are treated differently from my regular ed students. #AltREd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute Hi my name is Judth velez. I Teach Spanish at EHS.#AltRtEd#SpEd

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute I tell my students they are being graded on a daily basis based on their efforts and participation. I allow my students the opportunity to redo test assignments. Their future is in their hands. I have witnessed my students learn and grow. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute I always tell my students that there can be multiple ways to solve a problem. I give them tips/suggestions and also add as much information for them to complete the assignment. Also, I use the feedback sandwich form. Positive affirmations are key #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute The way I frame my classroom into my students having a growth mindset is by involving the students as much as possible during the lesson. My students are encouraged to help out one another. I treat each student as an individual.#AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute My classroom is setup where my students can feel free to take risk and we welcome mistakes,because that gives us a new opportunity to learn how to solve the problem. I encourage my students to be the best versions of themselves. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute I think one of the characteristics that lead teachers to misdiagnose student's mindset is the lack of motivation on behalf of the students. Having good communication between the teachers and students is key to understand how the students feel. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute I regularly let my students known how they are doing in reference to their classwork and grades. I encourage those that are having difficulty or setbacks with positive feedback and encouragement. I constantly tell those students I believe in you. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute It is very important that as teachers we emphasize having a growth mindset to our students. Bringing out the best in our students is the greatest accomplishment a teacher can achieve. I always encourage my students. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

When students receives positives feedback during lessons or assignments, they leave the classroom feeling confident and motivate to keep improvements #AltRtEd #grading

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute Zero tolerance has not often worked because bullies have to become unmade.Changing human behavior means confronting difficult feelings and teaching new skills.Students should be taught the seriousness of bullying but also how to deal with them as well.#AltRtEd #standuptobullying

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute @CDCgov As a Teacher one thing I can do is to communicate to my students about the severity of bullying. Also set expectations and rules on how students should conduct themselves in and out the classroom. Express the importance that every student has a voice #AltRtEd #standuptobullying

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute According to the article view retaliation is a good thing.However retaliation is not the right type of mindset to address bullying. I believe rules and consequences about bullying must be established,explained and posted in the classroom since day one. #AltRtEd#standuptobullying

[Judith Velez @JudithV52146166]

@RutgersAltRoute A4, As a teacher I believe that afterschool programs gives students more insight to students that need more time practicing. Learning does not stop after the bell rings. It also gives the students to review any material they could not comprehend during school hours. #AltRtEd #ed
