Considering all learners is especially important during distance learning #AltRtEd #ELL

[ACTFL @actfl]

Schools in Oregon are thinking outside of the box to support dual-language students online. By providing cooking lessons and puppet play, educators hope to keep language learners engaged. #ELL #duallang

Among the more than 55 million students forced to stay home because of coronavirus-related school closures are at least 4.9 million English-language learners. Interesting Read on teachers trying to reach ELL students during Distance Learning! #AltRtEd #ELL

@RutgersAltRoute A7: POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT!! #AltRtEd #SPED

@RutgersAltRoute A6: It is also important to research the
Why". #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@RutgersAltRoute A6: Behavior management strategies I plan to include are seating students who need more support towards the front of the room and away from distractions. Doing this can help the overall classroom management and control. #AltRtEd #SpEd

A5 - I like the idea of making directions “permanent” by writing/drawing them and leaving them visible for the duration of the lesson. Oftentimes I give multi step directions and repeat them frequently. This would help to support my more visual learners. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jen Kressler Duda, M.ED @DynamicDuda338]

A4: Best practices would include, but not limited to, providing movement every 10-15 minutes, chunking lessons to review learning goals throughout the lesson, offering choices regarding activities that reflect S understanding, flexible seating... #Sped #AltRtEd

[eric fieldman👊✌ @mrfieldmanchs]

yes movement is often important, Even in a class of 25 HS students they know it's OK to stand up and move around the room( as long as they don't disrupt others) Even a short "walk" in the hall way is beneficial#AltRtEd r

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@MsOsbornNBPS @RutgersAltRoute I have done this and it helps students feel less overwhelmed. It also makes them feel like the tasks you are asking them to complete are within their reach.

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Tips from Weinberger that I felt were useful were using graphic organizers and putting concrete directions on the board where they are easily accessible for all students. I am going to incorporate these in my classroom! #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@jeanettew528 @RutgersAltRoute Fidget tools were great when I worked with elementary/middle school students.

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: In my classroom, I support ADHD students by chunking material, giving brain breaks, moving seats frequently and using preferential seating to give student the best opportunity to be successful. #AltRtEd #SpEd

A2 You are there to challenge them academically, socially, emotionally etc. in the classroom. You need to prepare them for life in the real world and that means pushing them. Build relationships with them and be the “Guide on the Side”- they need to do the work #AltRtEd

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 🎸🏴‍☠️🧩🤖🚀 @Principal_H]

A1 Well.. There are many challenges, remember --all the magic happens in the classroom. If you have an amazing teacher that won’t take no for an answer the sky’s the limit. Combine that with a supportive Admin and great things can happen. #AltRtEd

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@Mr_Herschman @RutgersAltRoute This is a great point. If you don't know your students, it is hard to figure out what they need!

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: General Education Teachers can support Special Education students succeed in the classroom by using strategies such as chunking directions, providing organizational assistance, using novelties or allowing for movement during class. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@kayla_parla93 @RutgersAltRoute This is a great tool. Some students are less confident in person. I have found this especially through Remote Learning, students have been willing to ask questions through message rather than a video chat!

[Kayla Drake @MrsDrake_NEHS]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: You can empower students to be self-advocates by offering them support and constant reassurance. When students feel supported and confident they are more likely to advocate for themselves. Also, positivity is always key! #AltRtEd #SpEd
