@RutgersAltRoute Growth-mindset feedback sounds like: “Your setup is strong—now justify why this method fits,” “I see progress from your last attempt,” and “You’re not there yet—revise step 3 and try again.” Specific, actionable, and focused on strategy > speed. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset #MathEd

@RutgersAltRoute One challenge is students seeing tests as “final judgment” instead of feedback. My opportunity is to revise assessment by adding re-do cycles, error analysis, and process-based rubrics so growth counts. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset #MathEd

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@RutgersAltRoute I introduce new tasks as “challenge with support,” not “easy vs hard.” I tell students we’re building thinking, not proving who’s smart. I also frame mistakes as data and revisions as progress, which shifts students toward persistence and risk-taking. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@RutgersAltRoute I communicate high expectations by giving all students rigorous tasks, multiple entry points, and wait time before responses. My verbal and nonverbal message is: “You can do hard math here.” I praise strategy, revision, and reasoning—not speed. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset #MathEd

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@RutgersAltRoute In my math classes, mindset is a big factor: fixed mindset can lead to “I’m not a math person,” fear of mistakes, and giving up early. The opportunity is huge,when students see mistakes as part of learning, they grow in confidence and achievement. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute A5 #TeacherEd #SpEd I think schools can fine-tune support by protecting co-planning time (gen ed + special ed), training staff, and auditing policies for hidden barriers (grading, homework, discipline).

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 #TeacherEd #SpEd I build self-advocacy by teaching students to say: “I need more processing time,” “Can I use a graphic organizer?” or “Please restate directions.” We set goals, track accommodations used, and reflect on what worked.

@RutgersAltRoute A3 #TeacherEd #SpEd For students with learning disabilities in math, I design “high ceiling, low floor” tasks, pre-teach key vocab, use worked examples, and allow oral/visual explanations. Frequent checks + feedback loops help students access content and meet high expectations.

@RutgersAltRoute A2 #TeacherEd #SpEd In my HS math classes, ADHD supports include: short task chunks, visual timers, movement breaks, guided notes, and reduced-problem homework with same standards.

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@RutgersAltRoute A1 #TeacherEd #SpEd Creating an inclusive HS math class means balancing rigor + access. Challenge: pacing for very different processing speeds. Opportunity: better teaching for everyone through visuals, chunked steps, and multiple ways to show thinking.

@AshleyRodrodlx @RutgersAltRoute That’s a great strategy! Providing a space for students to reset and teaching zones of regulation helps them manage emotions, while clear rules set a strong foundation for a safe environment. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@rosamariaxo__ @RutgersAltRoute Great approach! A calm, structured classroom combined with SEL skills and restorative conversations creates a supportive and safe space for students to thrive. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@conhog21 @RutgersAltRoute That’s wonderful! Building trust and staying connected with both students and their families shows how much you care. Offering support for personal needs makes a big difference in their lives. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@SarahFalk797732 @RutgersAltRoute Kindness cards and public recognition on announcements are wonderful ways to encourage and celebrate kind actions. It’s a great way to inspire others to do the same! #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@SeayRachel49072 @RutgersAltRoute That’s amazing! Celebrating kindness daily and using books and role-playing to teach empathy is such a great way to build a positive foundation for young learners. Small acts truly do make a big difference! #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@cnicholson029 @RutgersAltRoute That’s a wonderful approach! Praising kindness and effort sets a great example for students and encourages them to follow suit. Positive reinforcement makes a big difference! #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I spread kindness by teaching students to compliment others, celebrate their achievements, and help classmates in need. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[Ylin @Ylinls35]

@MrsMTawiah @RutgersAltRoute Absolutely! Creating a safe and open environment is key. When students feel they can trust you, they’re more likely to speak up and take action against bullying. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools
