@RutgersAltRoute A5: Feedback needs to be frequent to instill a growth mindset framework for students. Consistently being encouraged to keep trying and learn from mistakes. My feedback is informal and infused in all of the routines in my self contained class #teachered#specialed
@RutgersAltRoute A4: my self contained assessments are informal and frequent. I look for opportunities for students to learn and grow from mistakes #TeacherEd#SpecialEd
@RutgersAltRoute A3:In my self contained classroom conscious framing is a critical motivator. Growth mindset language is infused into every lesson I teach. Struggling students in particular need this! #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A2: One way I do this is by writing motivational sayings on the white board each morning like "we can do hard things" "mistakes help us grow" TeacherEd #GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A1: The picture book "The Power of Yet" is one I read with my special needs students. Many of our successful social skills lessons are centered around this theme. Yet is a powerful motivator! #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A5: Advocacy, collaboration and flexibility is key to devising behavior management and discipline policies that incorporate the needs of diverse learners and those with disabilities. #SpEd#TeachEd
@RutgersAltRoute A4: I consistently teach my autism/eri students to use their words to advocate for their needs. We practice goal setting and identifying strategies during daily morning check-ins and social skills lessons #SpEd#TeachEd
@RutgersAltRoute Q3: I am a self-contained teacher, so my classroom environment is structured to support varying learning and behavioral challenges. It is important for me to advocate for inclusion for my students in the greater school environment #TeacherEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute Q2: I provide fidget tools, movement breaks, visual schedules, timers, flexible seating and checklists. All of these things help my ADHD students. Home communication is also critical to streamline supports. #TeacherEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute Q1: the inclusive learning environment of my classroom is characterized by having flexible seating, scaffolding, sensory friendly break areas, and presentation of material using multiple modalities. #TeacherEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute#safeschools#teachered A5 Infuse social skills education into all areas of teaching in an interdisciplinary manner and build students' self advocacy skills.
@RutgersAltRoute#SafeSchools#TeacherEd A4 This is a challenge for teachers in many ways, but most significantly with difficult parents who do not understand the differences between conflict and bullying.
@RutgersAltRoute#TeacherEd#SafeSchools A3 My school uses the SuperFlex program to help teach social skills that prevent harassment and bullying. It is taught by the school counselor in every k-4 class
@RutgersAltRoute#teachered#safeschools A2: Self -Contained 2-4 ERi/Autism. I send daily overviews to parents and include any instances of behavior that can lead to harassment or bullying to help make parents aware and help encourage positive social awareness at home.
@RutgersAltRoute A1: Self Contained ERI teacher here. We engage in social skills lessons daily and speak about healthy and appropriate social interactions. There are direct consequences for inappropriate behavior in this regard.
@RutgersAltRoute#TeacherEd#EdTech Q5: Technology helps me as a teacher to find creative ways to plan differentiated lessons in a muti-grade class. Effectively implementing the technology and finding a balance with the students is challenging.
@MsAshleyShanley@RutgersAltRoute Exactly! It takes me time to learn and integrate material. This is difficult as a first-year teacher, but I hope to be able to learn and grow in this area.
