@RutgersAltRoute A6 I find it helpful to talk with the student privately. Try to uncover the reason that might be behind the behavior. With high schoolers many times there is something they are dealing with outside the classroom that is affecting their behavior in the classroom, #AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A6 The most important thing is know your students. This is key to managing behaviors before they become a problem. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A6 More praise. I feel there can never be too much of that. Less emphasis on negative behaviors and more on the positives.#AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A5 Making good choices is something I try to drive home with all of my students. I stress the importance of making good choices not only in my class but, with their peers, their coworkers, etc. ( I teach mostly seniors who are about to embark on adulthood. ) #AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A5 I really like the idea of a fidget tools box. Many of my students could potentially benefit from something like this. My only concern is they may be even more distracting to others...#AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A4 Giving the students options and extended time to complete assignments is common practice in my classroom. I ask my students what they need in order to be successful. What can I do to support them. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 I chunk the material so that it seems more manageable to some of my students. I will often times cross off the items on the board as we complete them. This gives some of them a sense of accomplishment. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 I allow frequent breaks throughout the class. I write the daily activities and homework on the board so they can see it. I also tell them what the agenda is for that day so they know ahead of time what we will be doing. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 Checklists and homework organizers can help struggling students stay on top of their assignments and due dates and give them a better sense of control. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 Teachers should try to limit distractions for these students. Some things that may help achieve that are preferential seating, or different types of seating or workstation. Fidget toys and frequent breaks can help too. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 Teachers need to familarize themselves with the student's IEP. Often times speaking with the case manager, former teachers, parents and the student, teachers can learn how to best support that student. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A1 My biggest challenge is differentiating for each student. All of my classes, and in some cases every student in my class has an IEP. This means each and every one of them needs something different in order to be sucessful. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 I want my students to be able to recognize what works best for them and know that they should share those thoughts with their teachers. They are in control of their education and we are there to support them. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 I think the best wat to empower my students is to make them feel comfortable and confident. I want them to know how smart and capable they are and that they can be successful. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A1 Another issue I have is trying to keep everyone on task. I give frequent breaks and chunk the lesson to try and keep everyone focused. #AltRtEd #SpEd

Interesting article about the benefits of Collaborative learning. https://t.co/gxEHvXvaqN

@Bvnut1 @RutgersAltRoute I completely agree, and I try! I am always telling them they should just strive to be better than they were the day before. #AltRteEd #GrowthMindset

[Jennifer Ring @RingJennifer]

@RutgersAltRoute A7 Going forward I would like to try to incorporate more peer to peer instruction. I think it's an important skill to have; to be open minded, willing to listen and take advice as well as be able to communicate effectively in order to help a classmate. #AltRteEd #GrowthMindset
