@RutgersAltRoute In my third graders especially because they are all English language learners, but in older grades as well, some tend to shut down if I challenge them too much, I’ve learned a form of scaffolding works better #AltRtEd#Growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A3 when it won’t confuse the third graders , I like to tell them I’m teaching you this because you’ll need it when we do that, and show them everything builds off something else to promote growing their thoughts rather than forget it after a quiz#AltRtEd #Growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A2- I think a great way to promote a growth mindset is by showing them their work from the beginning of the year and showing them they are already capable of growth #AltRtEd#Growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A1 the mindset is the most vital piece to the classroom you can’t get an A if you don’t try and having a don’t quit mindset is beneficial in the classroom obviously if the student shuts down and has a negative mindset it will negatively impact their grades #AltRtEd#Growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A5: one of the best ways would be to raise awareness of the different disabilities so the kids are exposed to them and do not view them as different #AltRtEd#Sped
@RutgersAltRoute A3: you can create an environment where yku gives the students brain breaks and opportunities to get up and move around the room for a few minutes in between lesson #AltRtEd#Sped
@RutgersAltRoute A2: you can challenges them to take pride in their word and offer rewards for students whose work gets hung up in the hall , set obtainable learning goals for them to reach and chart the progress
@RutgersAltRoute A1: it is difficult to make sure you give the students with special needs enough time for the assignments without moving ahead and leaving them behind #AltRtEd#Sped
@RutgersAltRoute Collaboration starts with making connections. Make connections with your families first. Colleagues - discuss your students together (team meeting), focus on goals you want them to achieve #AltRtEd
@RutgersAltRoute A3: send surveys to families in the beginning of year/marking period, make positive calls/emails home (good news) home visits if applicable #AltRtEd
During our previous chat we discussed #edtech & opportunities for collaboration. For Q3, reflect on how you engage with your colleagues & students' families (high tech or low tech) to create a safe learning environment for all students. #AltRtEd#Standuptobullying

@RutgersAltRoute A5 SEL learning is the focus of my school this year which hopefully stems the problems of bullying already. Otherwise I try to check in and make myself available for all students. But it is up to me to be better in identifying students who are struggling but are quiet about it
@RutgersAltRoute Bullying should be immediately reported to the school's HIB coordinator and families should be contacted and colleagues should be met with as well to create an effective team to find the root cause of the bullying and nip in in the bud.
