A4: Use S interests. Not only will it personalize instruction, but it will increase engagement. Also, incorporating different learning styles into your lessons. Not every lesson needs to have every style, but just keeping them all in rotation!#cravenedchat #JBUEdChat

@STEM_Tchr_Smith I love the use of different mediums to engage all types of learners! #cravenedchat #JBUEdChat

A2: A weekly “new report”. Send home a paper that highlights the events of the week, key topics you are working on in class, and maybe even a student quote or two. #cravenedchat #JBUEdChat

A1: As a current S, I find that note taking solidifies the content in my mind and allows for easy review. In my future class, I plan on teaching note taking strategies that will show them how to find important topics and key points! #cravenedchat #JBUEdChat

@PegGrafwallner Great advice! It’s easy to to get caught up in the details of the job, but being there for the students is so important! #BeTheOne #JBUEdChat

A2: As I rising member of the new generation of educators, I would hope that current educators would make their students know that they are valued and can achieve excellence! Those two things will make a student feel like they worthy and capable. #BeTheOne #JBUEdChat

A1: When I taught in Memphis, we were learning about the states of matter… So I pretended like I had invented a machine to turn us in to Atoms, and we acted like we transformed (spinning, clapping, jumping) and then modeled the states of matter! #BeTheOne #JBUEdChat

Clear communication is important with all parents but especially with parents who have children with special needs. The communication needs to be regular, non-accusatory, and flexible...among other things. #JBUEdChat

Gen. Ed. teacher must understand that communication may look different for students with Special Needs. We need to shift our mindset from "you must learn to speak" to a "how can we learn to communicate?" Effective communication is priceless. #JBUEdChat

For inclusive classrooms to be successful, it is important that the Gen. Ed. teacher understands their role. The article summarizes their responsibilities and highlights the importance of the Gen. Ed. teacher valuing inclusion to its success. #JBUEdChat

There are many things to consider when designing a classroom, including the needs of your students. This article outlines 4 main things to consider when adapting the physical space to your students needs; thus, making this process simpler. #JBUEdChat

@eduwithbayles We want all of our students to feel safe and welcomed at school. Bullying prevents this. The article gave a bounty of practical ways to help prevent bullying. I appreciated the classroom meetings that allow the students' voices to be heard and making these routine. #JBUEdChat

[Kinsey Cox @kinsey_deaton]

@eduwithbayles This is a great resource! Clear and positive communication helps to build the trust that is necessary for collaboration between teachers and parents/guardians. Poorly worded emails can break any trust that was built and cause tension that hinders the child's growth. #JBUEdChat

[Kinsey Cox @kinsey_deaton]

@JennaTassy Being a Gen. Ed. teacher and trying to be as inclusive as possible for all of your students, including those with special needs, can be overwhelming. The collaboration that is emphasized in this article has such great value to us. #JBUEdChat

[Kinsey Cox @kinsey_deaton]

A4: This makes me think back to some of the responses from earlier questions. POSITIVITY. Not leading with the negative and always ending the conversations in a positive manner. This will brand your classroom as a safe place to be honest, fail, and learn. #EduAR #JBUEdChat

[Kinsey Cox @kinsey_deaton]

A3: Initially, I thought of growth mindset. If your students know that they are capable and going to grow, they will be more confident in telling their parents about their progress. Even if they aren’t where they want to be right now, they can and will be! #EduAR #JBUEdChat
