How comforting—and inspiring—it is to see a president of the United States we don't have to be embarrassed about, who has class and brains and empathy, who understands that a president needs to speak to every American, and not just some of us. Thank you, Obama. #GraduateTogether
@RutgersAltRoute A6 I try to turn everything into a positive and even into art. What one may perceive as poor behavior. I will direct it into movement and that movement is often quite successful. It’s 100% redirection and positive reinforcement #AltRtEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute A5 I like the idea of not focusing on the end result. Just focus on one step at a time and eventually you will get to the end result. Building blocks #AltRtEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute A4 I’m a dance teacher so I feel like a movement class is always beneficial to my students with ADHD. I know what to embrace when they get to be a little too much and then I know how to reel them back in. We just go back to breathing exercises. It works! #AltRtEd#SpEd
@Principal_H@RutgersAltRoute A2: Firstly, letting them know we all learn differently, so it’s welcome when you ask me to explain it a different way or repeat directions again. You have to get to know them as well and have them collaborate with you in their learning. #AltRtEd#SpEd
A1 Well.. There are many challenges, remember --all the magic happens in the classroom. If you have an amazing teacher that won’t take no for an answer the sky’s the limit. Combine that with a supportive Admin and great things can happen. #AltRtEd
@RutgersAltRoute A3 accommodations!!! Whether it’s preferential seating, fidget tools, multiple chances, extended due dates, we need to make those accommodations and in a way that respects the student. #AltRtRd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute A2 I think the best way to teach students to empower themselves is to build a strong relationship and trust with that student. This will encourage their confidence which is key to their ability to self advocate. #AltRtEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute A1 the biggest challenge is making modifications that benefit the student. I check in on them regularly and modify lessons and expectations for them #Altrted#SpEd
Everyone seeking to understand the extent of Trump’s botched response to COVID-19 must recognize that Trump wasted one of the country’s best weapons to fight a pandemic: The Strategic National Stockpile of protective equipment. https://t.co/5ABsuqCZnr
