@naomil0835 @RutgersAltRoute Setting clear expectation for discipline is the easy part I think. It is really the follow through that tends to lack. And that PD should be for all staff and all administrators. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@AllenTaskin @RutgersAltRoute And those PD hours would be designed how? #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@maxgreis @RutgersAltRoute Yes! Treating students as individuals, I think, really empowers students and builds their confidence. #TeacherEd #SpEd

@plickjunel @RutgersAltRoute An open door policy is always essential. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@daniDefluri @RutgersAltRoute So, I was at a school that made SEL a part of their curriculum and I thought it worked wonders with the students. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@DavidYost11 @RutgersAltRoute Right. It really is that simple. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@freckled_dork @RutgersAltRoute I agree. Differentiation is huge. As an ESL teacher, it is a necessity. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@AllenTaskin @RutgersAltRoute I know some teachers that give the answers right before the test and the students still don't get it. Do you run into those issues? #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@DavidYost11 @RutgersAltRoute There's nothing wrong with using AI for the right reasons. Thank you for this. #TeacherEd #SpEd

@WilmarilysV @RutgersAltRoute I never heard of sensory strips and kick bands. I definitely have to check that out. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@cop_jessica @RutgersAltRoute I notice that when I give frequent breaks the students are a lot more cooperative, especially if i threaten to take the privilege away. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@TonyMastermind @RutgersAltRoute What does a student-led classroom look like for you? #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@WilmarilysV @RutgersAltRoute This is very true. I teach ESL and they all in different places. Trying to find the sweet spot is difficult. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@diamondqtpi @RutgersAltRoute I definitely agree with you. It is not enough time. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@RutgersAltRoute the feedback has to be encouragingly honest? If the student did a good job, "Great job" is fine. However, the alternative wouldn't be, "horrible" or "I'm disappointed." Rather, "I know you could do better", which should be every teacher's truth. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@RutgersAltRoute The issue I have faced around assessment is students rushing through the assessment and not taking it seriously. I am still working through get students out of the mindset that assessments do not matter. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@RutgersAltRoute I think would start with assignments or tasks that I know students can do for sure, and celebrate that with positive affirmations and feedback. Slowly but sure we could work our way up and through the standard as their confidence grows. #TeacherED #GrowthMindset

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@RutgersAltRoute I just think we need to support students in the classroom, especially in ESL. Using different materials or scaffolding would help, along with giving feedback and them the opportunity to fix their work. Overall, I think patience in the classroom is key. #TeacherED #GrowthMindset

[Chris Roberson @chrisdaminister]

@RutgersAltRoute @RutgersAltRoute Mindset shapes the attitude of the students around challenges and failures. A growth mindset births resilience and motivation, while a fixed mindset hinders progress and stifles opportunities for learning. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@SenTedCruz did you learn anything from last night's Oscar's?
