@RutgersAltRoute I use multiple paths to success. My at-risk population needs educational wins. Sometimes the class discussion is the assessment. Providing different assessments acknowledges that I respect that they learn and demonstrate their learning in different ways.#TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A4 This is when I use the power of "Yet". Science for at-risk youth ages 14-19 in 1 class means I help the older ones "save face" when they are "behind" their younger peers. Acknowledge effort & encourage viewing challenges as opportunities for learning.#TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A6 My tone and the problem-solving approaches drive student success in my room. Goal = prevent “shutdowns”. Keep atmosphere light and positive. Keep content engaging and meaningful. Create supportive learning experiences that empower student success! #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A2 Cultivating a + atmosphere & safe environment with inclusive practices. Providing clear & differentiated instruction. Encouraging participation, reflection & self-assessment. Providing specific and timely feedback & praise. Encouraging growth. #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A1 There is potential for growth in students and educators. Focusing on challenges stifles abilities and confidence. Students will be less apt 2 learn and less prepared for life. I can model a mindset that will affect my student’s life for the +. #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset

@NicholasDi9792@RutgersAltRoute It is so hard to find professional development topics that apply to everyone but I think this is a great foundation. A flexible mindset is necessary no matter what you teach. It helps maintain patience and professionalism for your students and the staff. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@bananasbri@RutgersAltRoute I like that you take the initiative beyond what the school requires for professional development for you to learn. Your students are fortunate! #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@joey_gregory@RutgersAltRoute Very creative way to be sure they are focused with their creativity. The ideas need to flow in a semi-organized manner instead of all over the place. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@arcurem@RutgersAltRoute I think this is much more effective than closing his tabs when he gets off track. My students have no access to unsupervised technology so everything is paper and pencil. It is "old school" but it is what works for them. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@jessktran@RutgersAltRoute Absolutely. You have to have lots of options to accommodate everyone's needs but be sure the right ones are used by the right students and do not become a source of distraction to that student or others. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@JayZonday@RutgersAltRoute I find the same thing. They also become so reliant on them that you have to set up a plan to extinguish their dependence on it. You must strike the right balance. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@rowezy@RutgersAltRoute I agree. Being able to quickly assess what is working and what is not is crucial. Being able to figure out what to try next is tricky but the results are amazing once you find the right accommodation. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@erumjavaid100@RutgersAltRoute I find this helpful, too. Having to sit down and attend for an entire period is too intimidating for some students. If they are working, they earn a short break. If they can continue this without abusing it, we keep doing it. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@SocciJoseph@RutgersAltRoute My most successful science lessons are when an experiment is involved. Getting all their senses engaged and being paired up with a partner always yield interesting results. #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
