Q5, One of the most important but overlooked steps is 'making it right' or restorative practices after conflict. Often a consequence is given as a result of HIB, but working on and modeling relationship repairing skills is important for #SEL and support #AltRtEd #safeschools

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Last but certainly not least, here's our final question for today’s chat, Question 5 #AltRtEd #SafeSchools

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q4, I think one of the largest challenges is when the HIB occurs outside the classroom but is brought into school, like in #cyberbullying #AltRtEd #safeachools

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Consider what you've read and know about harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB) to answer Q4 #AltRtEd #SafeSchools

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q3, I keep parents abreast of positive classroom happenings as well as negative ones by email or phone. Connected parents are an important support in a safe classroom #AltRtEd #Safeschools

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

During last Saturday's chat we discussed #edtech and opportunities for collaboration. For Q3, reflect on how you engage with your colleagues & students' families (high tech or low tech) #AltRtEd #SafeSchools

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q2, to bullies or Ss who do HIB, building a positive classroom learning community or strengthening student connection with their school and peers, can be like garlic 🧄 to vampires 🦇 #AltRtEd #safeschools

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Let’s move on to our next question. Reflecting on the materials you’ve read, your professional experience, and your role as an educator, answer Question 2 #AltRtEd #SafeSchools

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q1, everyone knows that my classroom is a ZERO PUT DOWN ZONE 🙅‍♀️🚫 Also, the expectation in my class is that if you do a put down, you have to do a bump-up as well ❤️‍🩹🏐💪 #altrted #safeschools

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

To start us off, here's Q1 #AltRtEd #SafeSchools

When considering your "practices", think about your
- content
- classroom management,
- the academic/social/emotional skills you are teaching, and
- the physical/virtual space of the classroom

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q5, a major strength of technology is that it can reach many ppL and helps to connect us! I feel technology for family communication is an asset. I like utilizing the Remind app or using a Google classroom as a platform #altrted #edtech

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

For our final question, we look forward to hearing your ideas on engaging parents and families.

We're hopeful you can pick up some new ideas to try next year. #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q4, I think presence and intention is key with tech use. It's easy to get flooded with numerous tech resources or to focus on novelty as opposed to the function of the tool. #altrted #edtech

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Here's Question 4! #AltRtEd #EdTech

Q3, my department group chat is an important resource for support and assistance!! I also share resources with my colleagues via our GDrive and Share drive #altrted #edtech

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Collaboration is an important opportunity for novice and veteran teachers to seek advice, wisdom, and assistance from their peers. Consider the role of technology in this process. #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q2, in terms of barriers/challenges I feel intentionality and explicitness is key. My experiences this year have taught me to tell my students, "we are using X technology as a TOOL for Y. Technology use w/o specific direction or modeling can cause difficulty #altrted #edtech

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Research shows that preparation and training to use educational technology are key factors when examining the use of educational technology. For Question 2, we want to hear about your experience. #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q1: In my classroom we leverage technology to play games, to ensure everyone has access to course documents, and to stay connected #AltRtEd #teched

[AlternateRoute @RutgersAltRoute]

Let’s get started with Question 1!

More than ever, technology is a critical component of classrooms. Consider the specifics of your grade(s) & content area #AltRtEd #EdTech

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

Q4 cont, 💪Identifying strengths, ⛳ setting ground rules for the group,✨🌱📈 what do students want to see more of? ⚠️ brainstorming potential challenges, 🎬setting actionable tasks, and ✅❎when do we check in next/what will success look like?

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

@RutgersAltRoute Q4, as a prior facilitator @NJDCF's Family Team Meeting process is modified in my classroom, guiding students in planning the changes they want to see in themselves while building clsrm community & accountability 🤝📈🙌#AltRtEd #growthmindset

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

@RutgersAltRoute Q5, Coming away from the #AltRtEd #growthmindset chat, I love that malleable mindset means that ALL learners can set indiv goals and achieve growth. In my classroom, students reflect on their #multipleintelligences which means growth may look different from student to student

Q3, YES MARIA! I love to say to my students, "I'm always team ask for what you need!" And I'm 🗣️📣🎉🪅cheerleading it! Students discuss, collaborate, and submit feedback evaluating their indiv student needs in our class #AltRtEd #growthmindset

[Maria Castiglia @MariaCastiglia7]

@RutgersAltRoute Q3: Normalizing and encouraging asking for help! Instead of asking "does anyone need help?" asking "How can I help you all?" #growthmindset #alternateroute

[Karlene @m1lKb4C3real]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: Angela Duckworth's "Grit" with Carol Dweck's "Growth Mindset" is what I consider heroines of YET. Scholars must be encouraged to persevere through challenges that are personally relevant. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Allie Geiser @SrtaGeiser27]

@RutgersAltRoute Q2, I consider building #growthmindset by supporting and allowing a space to make mistakes, allowing peer collaboration to boost confidence, posing new points of view, and by pointing out my own mistakes and my own growth points as an instructor #AltRtEd
