It is such a great idea to give them examples of those who have done whatever there goal is before!

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@markjvicenzino @RutgersAltRoute #Teachered #growthmindset it is so important to give feedback and specific feedback too. This is the best way students can grow!

@markjvicenzino @RutgersAltRoute #teachered #growthmindset
A growth mindset is so important to teach and encourage. We all have set backs but we can learn from those and keep going!

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@yanifdez4 @RutgersAltRoute It is such a challenge at times to anticipate what a student will need on an assessment to assist them.

@Patrick83132835 @RutgersAltRoute I often do brain breaks with my students sometimes we use the site “Go Noodle” for ideas to get up and stretch!

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@Patrick83132835 @RutgersAltRoute Exactly, we all learn from and with each other!

#AltRtEd #peercollaboration
It is so important to collaborate with peers, as a science teacher that is what the scientific community is all about!

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@leesapisa Completely agree!

As a teacher it is so important to help students to understand our difference and work together to be as inclusive as we can.

1. A teacher should always be attentive and compassionate
2. Teachers should always use students appropriate pronouns for students
3. Teachers should read articles from trustworthy sources
4. Teachers can always modify “up” to better challenge students

@lpijanowski So true! #AltRrEd #grading

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I will let them know they can come talk to me and involve their guidance counselor as much as possible. Have a zero tolerance for any bullying in my classroom and will strategically arrange seats and groups. I will do my best to be there to support them. #AltRtEd

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: In the presentation it was discussed how hard it is to determine the difference between conflict and HIB. However it was also discussed that it isn’t always our place to make this distinction. The HIB counselor is always a resource to use and report to. #AltRtEd

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I make sure to regularly check in with guidance counselors and my co-teacher to see if she has noticed something I hadn’t. I also discuss with families in the beginning of the year how to reach me and reach out when there is a conflict of HIB issue. #altrted

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: I make sure to rotate groups often and change seating every marking period. I also regularly check in with my students and walk around the classroom to engage in conversation. I strategically put students in groups based on how they work together. #AltRtEd

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I make sure we go over Classroom rules and regularly walk around the room to engage with my students in conversation. As it was said in the presentation it is so important to know your students. Whenever we do group work I make sure we go over how to work as a team. #AltRtEd

[Laura Maxwell @Maxiscoffee]

@RutgersAltRoute I also make sure to go over group rules in the classroom and always check in to see how groups are doing. I regularly check in with guidance counselors as well to see if there is anything I should know. #AltRtEd
