@RutgersAltRoute thank you!!

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: It is challenging when working w students w fixed mindsets bc they are already convinced & set in their own ways. The way I have revised my assessments & practices to accommodate these students is by creating more project based learning opportunities #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I am always sure to accompany feedback starting with a positive compliment on their work, a piece for improvement and an overall positive message at the end. I consider this to be almost like a sandwich method of providing feedback. #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: You can fine-tune your messaging or practices to cultivate a growth mindset by accepting mistakes and challenges because what a student views as failing is actually their first attempt in learning. #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can promote a growth mindset in their classroom by being transparent. No one is perfect, therefore, sharing your own experiences with learning, failures and how you overcame it can be inspiring for students! #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: Challenges that present in mindset are that students are convinced that they are stuck in their own ways or limitations. The opportunity that presents itself is when students realize that although change may be scary, it is necessary for growth! #TeacherEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute excited to get involved in the conversation!

@RutgersAltRoute thank you for the chat!

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Teachers & schools can fine-tune behavior management & discipline policies to support SWD by setting clear expectations & policies that are continuously practiced, communicated to all parties including parents & constantly refreshed throughout the school year. #AltRtEd #SpED

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I think that it is important for both in person and virtual learning that students have access to brain breaks throughout the day or throughout the lesson to keep them feeling focused and refreshed! #AltRtEd #SpED

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I find it helpful when teachers create opps for students w ADHD & other disabilities to learn thru hands-on activities/exercises that help guide & keep the student engaged. Even at that, I find working in a peer to peer coaching environment is helpful as well! #AltRtEd #SpED

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: To empower SWD to be self-advocates for their success relies on strong communication, guided reflections to identify their needs for support and outlined short and long term personal and educational goals for themselves. #AltRtEd #SpED

[Julie Youngman @MsYoungmanHPE]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I find that it is both a challenge, yet an opportunity when it comes to figuring out and creating a plan that works best for each student in my classroom. This motivates me to get to know my students individually to help guide them towards success. #AltRtEd #SpED

Such a positive affirmation for our students! I will be sure to go through positive affirmations prior to testing to help reduce #testanxiety #altrted

[City Test Prep @CityTestPrep]

It's normal to feel worried or insecure if you experience strong, negative emotions or find yourself in an unfamiliar scenario. It takes some time to develop confidence. Practice and awareness leads to ease overtime.
