@RutgersAltRoute Great ideas on how to frame new concepts. I start by calling my students problem solving scholars or critical thinkers. It boosts confidence from the onset.

I have adopted the PCP tool when giving feedback, Praise/Critique/Praise as this helps to encourage the effort, offer correction and seal the feedback with praise/affirmation.

Reframing a student’s negative talk is a way to help a student become aware of using positive language and to try. I tell my students it’s okay not to know but it’s not okay not to try.

Verbal affirmations whether a student is wrong or right is necessary to develop a growth mindset. Written affirmations posted around the classroom are great esteem boosters as well.

A5 - Most schools have strict rules around acceptable classroom behaviors, such as the use of cell phones. In a diverse and differentiated classroom, some of the restrictive rules should be adjusted to allow for learning, such as the appropriate of phones.

A4 - Goal Setting at the beginning of the term and formal checks along the way keeps students accountable and responsible for their success.
@RutgersAltRoute A3 #SpEd#TeacherEd - I create mixed groups of students and ask open ended questions where all students can participate and answer. Think-Pair-Share is another tool that engages all students.
@RutgersAltRoute#SafeSchools#TeacherEd A.4. It is a disruption to the classroom environment academically, socially, psychologically etc but can be a teaching moment for the classroom when handled properly.
@RutgersAltRoute#SafeSchools#TeacherEd A3. My school has an SEL Committee that hosts events throughout the year to bring in support animals, yoga, peer-to-peer support groups for those who are victims of bullying or need a safe space to talk.
@RutgersAltRoute#safeschools#teachered A2. I create social emotional learning mantras about kindness and respect of others. I am kind. I receive kindness because of my kindness. I am respectful of others differences.
