@RutgersAltRoute @AliceGinsberg24 @aye_mrjames @Erik_Youngman @marybethgasman @saratruebridge Thank you for a very productive and well-informed discussion- let's change students' perspectives and mindsets one teacher at a time! #growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute To change to mindset-conscious assessment, we must bring awareness to positive emotions as when we feel better we perform better, inspire improvement through competency learning, and emphasize progress and growth.

@RutgersAltRoute "Teachers can use the principles of competency-based assessment and social-emotional learning to shape a positive mindset within students" Marie Therese (https://t.co/kiaeVbQptz)

@RutgersAltRoute Teaching students how to provide feedback using the word "yet" and deliver it using growth mindset language, helps them to be able to communicate peer to peer to deliver feedback rather than it always coming from the teacher. It ensures student-friendly language & comprehension.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute Providing feedback that focuses on process of developing skills conveys the importance of effort & motivates students to persist w/ learning. When students believe that their skills can be developed through dedication/ hard work not innate abilities, they develop a growth mindset

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute Instead of responding with very negative language encourage the phrases "not yet" and "but I will work hard in order to make this happen" and more positive language that is uplifting and allows for growth rather than a concluding sentence. Model this behavior and language.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute We can allow a "fixed mindset" rule in math and let students believe that they can only learn so much of the subject. Many of the typical structures used in math might need to be reassessed in light of the "growth mindset," from setting up arrangements to the assignments given.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute The material should be more open-ended and lend itself to multiple answers and critical thinking not one "correct" answer and we should praise all effort and be mindful of the way we chose to reinforce classwork.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute This potential seems like all they can accomplish. Instead of asking students what answer they got, teachers must instead ask students "How did you solve that problem?" or "What different things did you try?" or "What mathematical ideas did you use?"

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute We need to watch the words we use. It's important for us educators to realize that the fixed attitude has permeated our language since at least the Victorian era. Even the phrase "work hard and you will achieve your potential" may suggest that students have a set potential.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute Some of the girls have said that "math and science are for boys" and didn't think it was important to try in this subject area. They would try hard in ELA and neglect science/ math. This stereotype that women are not fit to do well in STEM is one that is a fixed mindset.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute To promote this I defined a growth mindset & made relatable characters i.e. a princess saying that she cannot yet do a math problem but will try bc she's just as capable as a prince, praise effort, strategy, & improvement, & didn't praise talent/ intelligence. Watch words we use.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute Growth mindsets think they can develop their fundamental skills with hard work/ education by challenging themselves. Development mentalities encourage learning, whereas having a fixed mindset = suspicious of difficulties & inclined to pass up learning if it involves maybe failure

@RutgersAltRoute @BiscottiNicole @drcalzy @DynamicDuda338 @mrfieldmanchs @Principal_H Thank you so much for a great conversation! #AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A5- A comprehensive school-wide plan includes a full variety of evidence-based strategies and approaches to achieve these objectives. An authoritative approach to discipline has been shown to be effective in both preventing and treating behavioral issues.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A5- The four main objectives of a comprehensive school-wide plan is (a) fostering self-discipline, (b) preventing misbehavior, (c) correcting misbehavior, and (d) remediating and responding to serious and persistent behavior problems.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A4- To help with overstimulation and environmental changes, we take those students for walks and allow them to go to the sensory room to take a sensory break.

[Chloe King @chloeeekinggg]

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #SpEd A4- To help with impulse decisions I have visual cues on that student's desk with good choices and positive language.
