TCNJ class of 2020

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: By reinforcing it in the classroom when I see it and setting the example with friendly greetings and kind words. #SafeSchools

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: we can encourage students to move from being bystanders by teaching them that it is their responsibility too if they see something and don’t do anything. Teaching this moral responsibility will empower students to speak up. #SafeSchools

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: The effective way to respond is by truly listening to the students and a good resource for them is the guidance department. #SafeSchools

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: I have seen some name calling as an example of students harassing eachother in my classroom which has impacted students self esteem in a negative way before I am able to shut it down. #SafeSchools

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I am creating a safe space by making my classroom very open while making myself very approachable. Students feel comfortable talking to me about their conflicts and issues. #SafeSchools

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute One insight I had was that technology is a great communication tool that connects everyone if used effectively. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: technology has made teachers able to share resources in a way that was never possible before. Through Teachers Pay Teachers, I have gained access to content made by other teachers to supplement my own teaching and resources. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: one way to form educational support partnerships with students families through the use of technology is by sending regular email updates about what we are doing in class to recruit at home support. #TeachEd #EdTech

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute Q2: a good experience I had with technology was related to the use Kahoot for a review game that was engaging and allowed everyone to easily participate. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: technology is a great way to make information about assignments and due dates accessible through Google Classroom or remind. Students can also access a wider range of content outside of class. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: students will use AI for any kind of writing assignments. I avoid this by only using paper and pencil for assignments and avoid technology so students will think for themselves. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute Thomas Nicolle - Social Studies/US History II

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Rather than saying “you’re very smart ” research shows that telling students “you worked very hard” better promotes a growth mindset and higher academic achievement. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: A challenge with assessments is designing one that captures the learning of all different types of abilities. Some students may not do well with a presentation but can explain the content orally without a large audience fine as an alternative #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: By using language carefully and communicating that I have high expectations for every single student. Intentional language will boost student self-efficacy. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: One way we can promote a growth mindset is by making sure students don’t feel any shame for wrong answers or for asking questions. Many students are afraid of drawing attention to themselves. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Tom Nicolle @Tomnic21]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: When a student has a fixed mindset that they are incapable of learning a certain subject, it can become a self fulfilling prophecy that needs to be broken in order to switch into a growth mindset. Otherwise they won’t even attempt to learn. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset
