@Jgallo1221 @RutgersAltRoute Acknowledging growth can be life changing for students! A lot of students, especially elementary, are unaware of where they’re growing or sometimes acknowledgement helps them to gain confirmation they’re on the right track! #growthmindset #teachered

@Ms_Ruberte @RutgersAltRoute Rubrics are great to map out expectation for the student. Especially as students go into middle school, they really need the supports to assist them ! #teachered #growthmindset

@nidhikapoorawal @RutgersAltRoute Yes my AP taught me this! I saw drastic shifts in the response and continued attitude with students when I specified what a student did successfully! #teachered #growthmindset

@afilippone8 @RutgersAltRoute Grades don’t always paint the picture of the student’s success. That’s why assessments must vary in delivery. Being able to apply a lesson doesn’t always happen through a written assessment. #teachered #growthmindset

@EmiliaKudelko @RutgersAltRoute As a Basic Skills teacher, a lot of my work is around giving feedback to help students reach their standard expectations. I often struggle with finding the best ways to give meaningful feedback to assist the students in thriving. #teachered #growthmindset

@mantillama18657 @RutgersAltRoute “Not yet” is such a great way to approach students in acknowledging their work because it highlights the journey of learning as discovery and not a right or wrong! #teachered #growthmindset

[Monique Tawiah @MrsMTawiah]

@AlysonAllen915 @RutgersAltRoute Yes I try my best to voice my personal opinion about the task at hand! When I say “this is hard” or “this may be difficult,” I’m setting a tone of difficulty that may not exist if I just allow the students to experience the learning. #teachered #growthmindset

@alex_i85121 @RutgersAltRoute I agree. When students hear “test,” they do instantly shut down. That language raises anxiety and pressure. Even the word “assessment” can be understood with less pressure than “test” at times. #teachered #growthmindset

@etusohel @RutgersAltRoute I love that word choice “productive struggle!” That’s a very good perspective to the learning process for all scholars. Knowledge comes when you allow students to grow in that way. #teachered #growthmindset

@ChandrikaR99742 @RutgersAltRoute Wow! I love this activity. I’m actually going to try this. Thank you for sharing. #teachered #growthmindset

[Monique Tawiah @MrsMTawiah]

@RileyGiles1313 @RutgersAltRoute I agree Riley! Adaptable and skill level material is so important. Students may be the in the same classroom and grade level but skill may not align! This shift will help to support the struggling and gifted student. #teachered #growthmindset

@ChandrikaR99742 @RutgersAltRoute I love this! I also love being the cheerleader for my students. They truly do need that to help them boost confidence and, hopefully as they continue on their educational journey, they can encourage themselves based on our model! #teachered #growthmindset

@bobmann50x @RutgersAltRoute I’ve observed this also with middle schoolers! If there is a subject or concept, they’ve struggled with for years, they prematurely diagnose difficulty before attempting! #teachered #growthmindset

[Monique Tawiah @MrsMTawiah]

@afilippone8 @RutgersAltRoute When students fear mistakes, I’ve observed it create hesitancy and over time and lack of confidence when provided new and extremely unfamiliar problems in math! #teachered #growthmindset

[Monique Tawiah @MrsMTawiah]

@chrisdimar2 @RutgersAltRoute I agree! It’s so important that students are able to advocate for themselves in their learning experience! #teachered #growthmindset

@AdnanOudehUB @RutgersAltRoute I attended Franklin Middle School!

[Monique Tawiah @MrsMTawiah]

@Ylinls35 @RutgersAltRoute Those hidden barriers are a big issue that I’ve observed as well and it takes a team!!

[Monique Tawiah @MrsMTawiah]

@PaigePinheiro12 @RutgersAltRoute It takes a village !

@RutgersAltRoute A5 #TeacherEd #SpEd Schools need to adapt by using online tools, hands-on manipulatives, and flexible classroom setups to support all learners, including students with different physical needs. Outdated administrative views can limit necessary academic support.
