@RutgersAltRoute A5: making sure students know they can trust you to help, offering resources to recover from bullying, make them feel validated, supported, and not alone. #teachered #safeschools

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A4 cont: is a lesson often learned the hard way. Even with students facing legal charges or being expelled, other students do not seem to grasp the seriousness of their actions.

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: The biggest problem I have seen related to HIB cases are the fact that the children do not understand the consequences of their actions. despite the fact that we discuss what bullying means and unacceptable behavior, they still think they are invincible. Unfortunately this...

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A3 cont: time during the day to discuss behavior, incidents, or positive changes. #teachered #safeschools

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I think technology is a big help, especially for students whose parents cannot be present at the school. This keeps the channels of communication open when we cannot connect face to face. It also helps teachers stay in touch about students despite the fact that we may not ...

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 cont: required me to change my originally planned lessons but was an important factor to be addressed. Make sure students understand that bullying comes in many forms and that they also may not realize how they may be making another student feel #teachered #safeschools

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: do not be afraid to discuss and learn about bullying directly. Do not act like it is something that does not happen. Address incidents as soon as they are seen before they can escalate. In one of my third grade classes, we had to have several bullying interventions. This...

@RutgersAltRoute A1 cont: abilities will result in lost play time. Students know they do not get graded on abilities but on effort. #teachered #safeschools

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: the biggest thing I stopped in my classroom is laughing. No question or response should be laughed at by any students. I also make it a point to say things students may find surprising to start a conversation to break the ice for students. In PE laughing at another students..

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A5 cont: fully informed. #teachered #edtech

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I use the talking points to communicate both positive and negative student information to parents. My students can message me via clever, email me, or leave a note in their google doc that I check daily. I also make sure to keep grades up to date so all communication can...

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute with me with their questions/comments/concerns, and receive direct feedback on assignments. I do feel this takes more planning, but to me, it is worth the extra work. #teachered #edtech

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I found a huge benefit to technology through google classroom. I can organize all the work for my unit. This allows students to know what they missed when absent, revisit work if they need more time, have an alternative assignment if they finish early, communicate directly...

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: We have weekly meetings as a team, often joined virtually by administration. We also have a few professional development days as a department to allow us to share ideas and lessons that have worked with a similar population in different schools in district #teachered #edtech

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@Kafkaesque83 @RutgersAltRoute I have also struggled with students not staying on task. My school uses Hapara so that I can monitor what students are doing on their chromebooks. I am also able to close out tabs that are not relevant to the class or freeze their computers. Maybe that would be helpful to you?

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 cont: are not able to use it at home. This leads to students needing more time in class to do basic functions with their chromebook. I also find myself having to help students with a lot of basic computer skills #TeacherEd #EdTech

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: The biggest barrier I have in using tech with my students is many of my students do not have wifi at home. Because of this, they cannot continue to work on assignments unless it is paper. I feel this has also impacted how savvy they are with their device since they...

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: My favorite way I use tech in my class is I have students create a google doc & share with me. I use this every class for a do-now which allows me to evaluate how well students are understanding, if they are making connections, or if they have any questions #teachered #edtech

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A5..past is If they are at the end of a unit, I used to not go over them in depth as I considered that subject done. I see now that it is still important for the student's growth to fully comprehend the material even though we are changing topics #TeacherED #GrowthMindset

[Rachel Daddio @DaddioRachel]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: offer assessments other than tests or quizzes whenever possible. Make sure students go into the assessment with a positive mindset. ex. well reviewed material, confidence in themselves, fair questions. history of straight-forward assessments. One mistake I have made in the...
