@BTECS_ @RutgersAltRoute That's a great idea! It reminds me of texting - it can come through to the other side a different way than if you say it to them verbally (I try to add smiley faces to my feedback to help convey the message more positively)

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@MakmurAltRoute @RutgersAltRoute Agreed! Hands-on learning works the best!

[Mike Makmur @MakmurAltRoute]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I might place a heavier emphasis on classwork and lab activities than many do. Even though it is an AP class (and we have to teach to the test at some level), the actual learning, exploring, and growing are more valuable to the students in the end. #AltRtEd #growthmindset

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@MariaCastiglia7 @RutgersAltRoute Agreed - Being a science teacher it's nice to have the opportunities for the students to learn through lab assignments!

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Our assessment tool is the most important tool that can enhance or destroy students’ desire to succeed in school. I want to start giving feedback without the grade on the paper so that the students see the feedback first and learn from it!

@Sharlene_Laud @Physics981ms2 @RutgersAltRoute @Erik_Youngman @LaVonnaRoth @saratruebridge @vhill01 @Sharlene_Laud getting the students input & feedback on what they want to assist in self-monitoring is the 🔑! This can be a heavy burden for a teacher so it needs to be structured in a way that the scholar 📚is taking some ownership of it. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@1317APereira @RutgersAltRoute Love these questions and comments you use while speaking to the students - definitely fosters a growth mindset!

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@BTECS_ @RutgersAltRoute Love it - engineering is all about making mistakes and learning from them!

[Dr. Saffioti @BTECS_]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I teach Engineering & Computer Science so there is always opportunities for errors in hands-on/program design - I emphasize that these failures are one step closer to success! #AltRtEd #growthmindset #STEMeducation

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Telling students they did well on a test & their studying paid off shows that students are in control of their own learning & fosters a growth mindset. Not just focusing on what they did wrong on tests/quizzes but also what they did well on

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@NickMontagna1 @RutgersAltRoute For sure - I sometimes make mistakes in front of the students and it shows them that even we make mistakes but then we learn from them!

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@MariaCastiglia7 @RutgersAltRoute The choice of words make such a difference sometimes!

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I will introduce student goal-setting so that the students are always challenging themselves especially since I have some students that are misplaced. I want them to start challenging themselves more so that they can see their potential. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@MariaCastiglia7 @RutgersAltRoute Giving them a choice always makes them feel a part of the learning!

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@AlexisInguaggi1 @RutgersAltRoute Definitely agree - we need to always remember all the students are capable of learning, maybe not right now but they will!

[Alexis Inguaggiato @AlexisInguaggi1]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 Embrace the word “yet,” encourage an atmosphere of learning from mistakes, celebrate corrections, develop cooperative exercises, provide challenges #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can provide a safer and comfortable classroom environment by encouraging and praising the students, make sure to call on everyone to participate in the classroom and provide constructive feedback on assignments, tasks, exams etc. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@BalazsMs @RutgersAltRoute Agreed! We always should create that positive classroom environment and a growth mindset helps with that!

[Tracy Eastlack @EastlackTracy]

@RutgersAltRoute A 1: Those with a fixed mindset avoid challenges and don’t push themslves as hard as they could. They don’t accept feedback and are usually set in the ways. For those that have a growth mindset take on new challenges and learn more from these experiences. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

[Ms. Kaur @Physics981ms2]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: If the teachers and students both have a growth mindset there will be a plethora of opportunities to grow and learn more every day! If the teachers and/or students have a fixed mindset it's going to impede the learning happening in the classroom! #AltRtEd #Growthmindset
