@RutgersAltRoute A5. Ensuring that students recognize the people who are on their side is one key element. Many students feel that the world is against them, especially in cases like this, so as a teacher it is your job to make sure there is no doubt that you are not against them, too. #TeacherEd

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@RutgersAltRoute A4. Being cognizant of this type of behavior at all times can be challenging, especially because relationship dynamics between students are not always clear. An opportunity, though, is looking deeper into a students wants/needs, and what the root of this behavior is. #TeacherEd

@RutgersAltRoute A3. My school uses peer mediator — upperclassmen who have gone through an application and vetting process — who not only mediate conflict but act as mentors for students in need. I’ve seen the successes of this program first hand, and it has been great. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute A2. I try to collaborate with families through email, Google Classroom, or phone calls. It helps when there is a good team within the building for the families to communicate with, which is why I also often depend on guidance counselors and social workers. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute A1. I make abundantly clear acceptance of all students through the physical environment (such as signs/ posters speaking to the diversity of the classroom) & discussions we have in class. My first rule at the beginning of the year is to be open-minded and respectful. #TeacherEd

@sean_rocks29 @RutgersAltRoute I’ve also found it beneficial to send emails for positive behavior, too! I tried to make sure to send at least one positive email home a week this year. It’s great for parents to be updated on the good things their child is doing, rather than just the bad. #TeacherEd #EdChat

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@jackie_zapata1 @RutgersAltRoute I always tell parents to check our Google Classroom for updates. Even if they are simply checking to see what their child is working on, it helps keep them involved in the classroom experience. #TeacherEd #EdChat

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@MarshallN707 @RutgersAltRoute Teaching in a very diverse district, I’ve also found translation tools extremely helpful! #EdChat #TeacherEd

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@Kyle_UTS @RutgersAltRoute I love having technology to fact-check! Especially in high school, students often have questions that I don’t have answers for. Being able to do a quick search to give them the answer they are looking for is so helpful. #EdChat #TeacherEd

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@adriannatavy @RutgersAltRoute Totally agree that it can be overwhelming! There is so much out there, so I’ve found it most helpful to stick to a handful of tools that I can use often. This way, it’s easier to adapt to updates/change. #TeacherEd #EdChat

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@jonstou @RutgersAltRoute Absolutely! I have yet to find any AI-checker that is foolproof, and the amount of students who use AI/online-assistance is rapidly increasing. #TeacherEd #EdChat

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@Kyle_UTS @RutgersAltRoute As much as I like to see what my colleagues are doing in their classes, I really enjoy coming up with my own lessons, projects, and assignments, but it’s always helpful to run it by them. I agree that it helps me recognize age and level appropriateness. #TeacherEd #EdChat

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@JohnBei69358856 @RutgersAltRoute Completely agree. Of all the sources mentioned thus far, nothing is more valuable than my colleagues’ insight! #EdChat #TeacherEd

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@jonstou @RutgersAltRoute My colleagues and I try to do this, as well. It really helps to have a shared Google Drive, too, in order to make the process more streamlined. #EdChat #TeacherEd

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@JenniferRM61533 @RutgersAltRoute I would love to find some PDs that dive into the best use of these tools. I often find myself struggling to understand many of them, and even when I do, there are always things on the students’ side that I don’t see! #TeacherEd #EdChat

[Liam @LiamConnors8]

@Mishi_909 @RutgersAltRoute It’s very difficult to balance the benefits of technology with the downfalls, like fatigue. I completely agree that they can’t be on their laptops all day, which is why there must be a balance. #TeacherEd #EdChat
