@RutgersAltRoute They make it difficult for teachers to teach, for students to learn, and for members of the school community to work together toward the common good. They also interrupt the social, intellectual and emotional development of students.
@RutgersAltRoute Regular Professional Development sessions, regular cross collaborative scoring, regularly keeping in touch with parents (esp. of students with IEPs) and admin regarding student performances.
@RutgersAltRoute Be present. Remind others of the rules. Foster an environment of mutual inclusion, respect and dignity. Be firm and fair with applying the rules and in discerning disciplinary measures.
@RutgersAltRoute I try to be as inclusive as possible and have a very low-tolerance policy when it comes to physical, psychological and other types of bullying, harassment and unwarranted solicitation. Desks far apart, classroom rules reiterated regularly.
@RutgersAltRoute A5 - I regularly keep in contact with families through email and they have access to our school's Genesis portal, where they can see their children's behavioral status
