@RutgersAltRoute A5: teaching our students it’s okay to speak out and to encourage them to branch out and make new friends to build a greater sense of community and friendship
@RutgersAltRoute A4: I believe the biggest challenge is “snitching”, students are ridiculed for speaking up for getting them out of that mindset is difficult.
@RutgersAltRoute A3: my school has clear guidelines to for all 3 for teachers to follow if we witness any. And we can see our studies receive consequences for it.
@RutgersAltRoute A1: By making sure my students always feel welcome by greeting them, by being a trusted adult they feel comfortable talking to, and by making my classroom inclusive and free from judgment.
@RutgersAltRoute A5: on google classroom it will automatically connect with families emails and make sure they get assignments. As well I send emails about student success or concerns.
@RutgersAltRoute A4: some benefits is convenience, not having to print every morning and the printer getting jammed. A challenge is having to stay vigilant to make sure students are staying on task and they have access to the entire internet as well (try to block sites but they find new sites)
@RutgersAltRoute A3: I use on course for lesson plans and it allows me to share my lesson plans with my colleagues so they are welcome to use what I have or see what lesson I’m on.
@RutgersAltRoute A1: a mindset can help or hinder learning. Students who are confident can be more willing to learn than a student doesn’t think they can.
@RutgersAltRoute A5: Offer choice to students. Have students be able to show their knowledge in a way that they feel comfortable with. Allow students to use different kinds of media in all subjects for projects and lessons.
