@RutgersAltRoute A5: I mentioned this in a previous answer, but please allow your students to revise incorrect answers on their exams and give class time for misunderstood concepts! School is not just about report cards and grades, spread positive learning!

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Here is some great advice I’ve read! Do not praise your students for “how clever they are” because it will encourage them to develop a fixed mindset. Instead, give them positive feedback on their hard work and the process it took to achieve what they’ve done.

@RutgersAltRoute A3: Create an engaging learning environment for students, one where they are eager to come to class and learn new things.

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: also, this is going to be controversial so I’d love to hear what you think - teachers remove public shaming systems from your walls like the “clip” system or “recess jail”! This does not foster growth, it just humiliates students. There are other ways!!

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Feedback feedback feedback! Provide feedback, allow your students to learn from their mistakes so they can better themselves. Allow them to correct questions they got wrong on their exams, give them class time to discuss what went wrong and how to improve.

@RutgersAltRoute The challenge begins at the start of the school year - how do we change the students’ perception and attitude of learning? As teachers we have the opportunity to help our students understand that intelligence and talent are not fixed traits. We help them grow.

@RutgersAltRoute A5: we definitely need more training on how to read and understand IEP and 504 plans. Also professional development days for modification/accommodation strategies.

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: By consistently reminding them that they are no lesser than their peers, and that they deserve the same opportunities to achieve success no matter the modifications. They are equally smart, talented and worthy.

@RutgersAltRoute A3: by providing the appropriate accommodations and modifications in order to grant each and every student an equal opportunity to learn. I present all my lessons in different modes that help engage students with all types of backgrounds and disabilities.

@RutgersAltRoute A2: as many others have said, fidgets have been a life saver. Also I want to mention this one example for those who have students that have a reaction to certain sounds, I switched my students from pencil to erasable pens because they hated the sound of the pencil.

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: one of the challenges that I’ve faced is being able to manage a classroom that has students at various levels, including students with learning disabilities. Those students, however, have granted me the opportunity to learn more about myself as an educator than ever before.

@RutgersAltRoute Encouraging communication is the most important thing that I can think of. Often times students will stay silent about their harassment in school. Creating a safe space for them to talk is important #teachered

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute Growing up in an environment where I was the center of this type of treatment has really geared me up to protect my students. Our trainings have taught me to be conscious and aware of the conversations around me that the students are engaging in. #teachered

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute Always keeping parents in the loop is important. I often share general updates or information about any conflict that arises via the use of tech. #teachered

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute Being a culturally aware teacher, reinforcing rules regarding respect, creating connections between your students. #teachered

[Rube @rubae_]

@RutgersAltRoute Two of our classroom rules focus on respecting teachers and respecting our peers around us. We have many different cultures in my classroom, I spend some time appreciating all of them so all students feel equally important. #teachered

@RutgersAltRoute Technology in the form of translators has been extremely helpful for me as an ESL teacher in order to engage patents. Programs like Google translate where you can drop a whole doc into it to be translated, and also Microsoft translator for languages that Google might not have.
