@RutgersAltRoute A5. Some examples of feedback to foster a growth mindset in the classroom are, "you must have worked really hard at this,” “you’re improving so well,” and I like the strategy you used.” #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A4. Some opportunities for me to grow in my assessment strategies is to offer multiple opportunities for mastery as well as low stakes formative assessments and feedback that help students through the learning process. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A3. I will express to students that they aren't expected to know everything yet and celebrate learning from mistakes or growth from past understandings. I want students to see mistakes as learning tools, shifting the focus from perfection to discovery. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute Good morning everyone! David Crain, 8th grade science.

@RutgersAltRoute A2. Teachers can promote a growth in their classrooms by giving more response opportunities and providing differentiated feedback to clarify the path to high-quality work. Emphasizing that they are there to learn not to already know. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A1. Mindset can help some students to believe that they can grow and learn from misconceptions and areas where they struggle, but can also cause some students to believe that there is no way of improving. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute A5. By meeting with parents, students, communities, and each other to refine and improve policies and practices. #TeacherEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Building a safe, encouraging space is key to allowing students to self-advocate. With this and relationship, students are more likely to feel comfortanle advocating for themselves. #TeacherEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A3. By creating the general content geared towards those with learning disabilities, we can create more opportunities for them to participate in learning. We can also incorporate choice in how they demonstrate their learning. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A2. Some common accommodations I've implemented to support students with ADHD are preferential seating, simplified/broken up directions, movement, and frequent check-ins. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute Some of my biggest challenges in creating an inclusive classroom, stems from the students in the classroom and getting them on the same page of what an inclusive classroom looks like. This has also led to opportunity in allowing students to grow in working with each other.

@RutgersAltRoute Good morning! David Crain, 8th Grade Science.

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute This can start by demonstrating it, providing time for SEL, and uplifting all students.

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Not just promoting, but creating a community. Through the year, it has been awesome to see my students stick up for each other and have a zero tolerance for HIB because they have a sense that their classmates and peers are part of their community.

@kdannyh @RutgersAltRoute Thanks for doing this! I think showing them the many ways is so important. From my experience, many students don't fully realize that there are other ways besides inserting themself in the situation that can help to stop bullying.

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: We can help students to become upstanders by having real conversations about bullying and its affects by using stories, etc. Also, providing them with HOW to be an upstander and demonstrating it.

@KimberlyWares @RutgersAltRoute Listening is key. I also think its important, like you mentioned, to help end the conflict but also to help the individual through the situation.

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: When students need support, the primary response should be to listen and listen fully to what has happened and how they feel as a result. Then, its important to offer targeted support and, if possible, offer restorative practices.

@kdannyh @RutgersAltRoute I've noticed that these types of events lead to students dreading coming to school and impacts many aspects of their wellness.

[David Crain @david_crain4]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Most HIB that I've seen in school comes in the form of harassment. It often stems from students making fun of and calling people names who are different from them and using that person as the butt of a joke.
