@RutgersAltRoute A5: Moving forward to next year, I will place more of an emphasis on showing respect for your fellow classmates and make clear my expectations about how students should treat each other. Setting the example of respect is also a priority. #AltRtEd #Standuptobullying

@RutgersAltRoute A4: HIB can create a classroom environment that is not conducive to student learning and achievement. It can lead to students feeling unsafe and tense in the classroom, which is why it is so important that teachers manage this behavior. #AltRtEd #Standuptobullying

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I would make it a point to mention to colleagues if I witnessed possible tension between two students in my class. This way they knew in their class to be mindful of any interaction these students had to prevent any escalation. #AltRtEd #Standuptobullying

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: By getting to know my students and understanding the way they interact with each other, I can identify the possibility of a conflict and take steps to prevent one from arising. It is important to be mindful of all student interactions. #AltRtEd #Standuptobullying

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I do my best to create an environment that encourages respect and collaboration. By creating an environment of mutual understanding, this can lead to a more friendly classroom experience. #AltRtEd #Standuptobullying

@RutgersAltRoute @Tolerance_org @NEAToday A6 I will try to do a better job of recording my parent contact. I'll encourage more parents to join into the Google Classroom to view their child's work. I'll also make it a point to follow up on any contact I have with parents. #AltRtEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A5 GC allows the option to invite parents, which allows them to be closely involved in the learning process. During remote learning, other teachers and I often invited parents to have conferences on zoom to discuss their students progress. #AltRtEd #edtech

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 Technology provides an additional way to directly communicate with students and parents and provide additional resources. It can be challenging though because of students with little internet access or knowledge of technology. #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 Throughout the year I had daily meetings with my fellow teachers to discuss instructional strategies. During remote learning, we had weekly Zoom meetings to discuss ideas to better student engagement in Zoom classes. #AltRtEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A2: I believe the biggest barrier is that some students might not have readily available access to the internet at home. Also, we have to keep a watchful eye on what students are searching and their interactions in different social media platforms. #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 For students with limited internet access, I mailed work packets to them to be completed. Some students would then take pictures of their work and send it to me on Remind through their phones (which used data, not wifi). #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A1 I've used a wide variety of online resources and application throughout the year. Primarily through Google Classroom, where students were assigned and turned in most of their work. I also used sites like quizziz to create more engaging activities in class. #altrted #edtech

@RutgersAltRoute Hi! My name is Nicholas Fourniadis and I teach Social Studies. #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A6 I believe knowing your students is the key to proper classroom management for all types of students. Also, making sure I keep a cool head and stay calm in situations that require discipline is important. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A5 I like the idea of using checklists and also of having fidget tools such as Rubix cubes in the classroom. I already write down my rules so they are permanent and I find it to be very helpful. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 I tend to sit students who need help focusing toward the front of the classroom so I can get them back on track if they begin to lose focus. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 We can adjust our lesson plans and assignments to cater to the strengths of the students with learning disabilities. This will allow them to show their capabilities and lead to future achievement as well. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Nicholas Fourniadis @NFourniadis]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 I find that talking with them one on one, using positive reinforcement, and encouraging them are all ways to get them to self-advocate and ask questions. Letting them know they have influence over how they will learn is helpful. #AltRtEd #SpEd
