What are alternatives to ISS (In School Suspension)? It’s not working at my school and we’ve got to figure out an alternative or a deterrent. Any ideas???

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

A6 if you have the answer to this question please let me know. I’ve been trying to figure this out for years. #tnedchat

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

@juliedavisEDU I agree. It’s important for both educators and students

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

A5 self talk can be both encouraging and damaging #tnedchat

A4 Intrinsic means I am my own motivation. Extrinsic means I need someone else to motivate me. There is a difference in perseverance because as someone with intrinsic motivation I feel I push harder to achieve. #tnedchat

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

@juliedavisEDU Those are all important. I am more stressed when tired or not feeling well, which usually stems from being tired.

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

A3 There needs to be down time and recovery time in education. Over-testing students and over-working educators can have unhealthy end results. #tnedchat

@juliedavisEDU @nathan_stevens @Gregbagby I agree with you @juliedavisEDU in education grades are attached to everything, the student, the teacher, the school. There's no room for error, or growth. #tnedchat

A2 3 Succeeding: accomplishment, achievement, and success. Failure: unaccomplished, unproductive, and disappointment. Yes, emotions show the person is invested in what they are doing and they are taking ownership for their success or their failure. #tnedchat

A1 My thoughts on fixed vs. growth mindset are teachers are able to encourage a growth mindset in their students by modeling for students what an appropriate response should look like #tnedchat

@BardMeagan that's sad because receiving Title funds brings so many resources into the schools #edtechbridge

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

@JanHamilton7 Do you write with your students or do you just have them write? My students love me to work with them #teachwriting

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

@BardMeagan we just finished out first year of the students having 1to1 computers #edtechbridge

[Alex Carrington @MsACarrington]

@JanHamilton7 LifeMaps sound interesting. Do they work with middle school students? #teachwriting
