@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset A5: Allowing students to re-take assessments encourage students to continue improving and to try and do better next time.

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset A4: Teachers can be personal with them and talk about their own experience of overcoming challenges when learning something can help foster a growth mindset. Encouraging students with positive feedback before adding on points of improvement can also help

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset A3: When you introduce a new concept and tell them that it's difficult, some students may shut down right away. If you introduce it by linking it with something that they already know and break it down into baby steps, they won't feel as overwhelmed.

@Sharlene_Laud @RutgersAltRoute The students were told to not make negative remarks and to encourage one another. In the beginning, some of the students didn't feel comfortable playing by themselves, but over time, they all wanted to play in front of the class at least with a partner.

@Sharlene_Laud @RutgersAltRoute The students are used to playing in front of each other every class either individually or with a partner. I told my students that they should try especially if they don't feel like it's perfect so that I can give them pointers to how to practice or make it better.

@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset A1: Learning a new instrument (and sticking with it) teaches you to develop a growth mindset

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset A1: Growth mindset is key in learning a musical instrument. For some, it may take longer to learn a new skill, but it's all about investing the time and not giving up. Some of my students say "I can't do it", but I reassure them that they all can.

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd I gained specific tips in helping students with ADHD and in making behavior plans for SWD

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A5: Behavior and discipline policies should be individualized, and made clear between all teachers that see the students so that the expectations are aligned and implemented. The student, parents and teachers should be in frequent communication regarding progress

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A4: Some strategies to help students with ADHD are preferential seating (front row or back row), having a fidget toy (rubik's cube), using a seat cushion, having brain/movement breaks

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A3: Knowing your students and what works best for them is important because every student will be different even though they may be under the same "category" of disability. Sharing ideas with other teachers as to what has worked will help in the students' success

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A2: Being personable and approachable with all students, but especially with SWD give them the opportunity to speak up about what they do or don't understand. Building strong skills of communication and self-assessment will help students be self-advocates

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A1: A challenge is that sometimes it takes longer to explain in different ways to individuals, but for the long run, it is essential

[allee @alinaleemusic]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A1: An opportunity that I have encountered is that I introduced different ways to label fingerings and note names, as well as ways to learn reading musical notes, and now I have a bag of different ways that students could try according to what best works for them

@finleyt Love these suggestions! #testanxiety #AltRtEd

#AltRtEd #diverselearners Q1: A teacher who is aware of learning differences in their classroom takes time to get to know their class personally and in turn can teach more effectively
