@RutgersAltRoute A6. I used a point reward system last year which worked well for the self-motivated students. I want to focus more on praising good behavior as it occurs as suggested in the video. This way students know exactly which behaviors I value. #AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A5 My favorite tip from Weinberger is to use laminated checklists to help students keep organized and remember to bring the required materials to class. Esp. Since my students only meet once a week, remembering to bring their stuff is key! #AltRtEd #SpEd

@Dianna71166340 @RutgersAltRoute A4. I already use preferential seating and practice log charts to help students keep track of their progress and show their work. I attach Goals checklist to the front of their book. #AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A3. Fidgets (stress balls or small manipulative) can be effective for students with ADHD to relieve stress and focus attention. Students need to make good choices and not use fidgets as a distracting toy. #AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A3 Fidgets are a good tool for students with ADHD. A rubrics cube or stress ball or small manipulative can help relieve stress for students who need to be moving or doing something with their hands.

@RutgersAltRoute A2 To empower students with disabilities I can ask them what they need and listen. Often they know what they need. Parents can also give valuable input. @AltRtEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute A1. My biggest challenge is identifying which students have disabilities. The IEP Is not available at the start of school and it is easy to mistake a behavior issue with a disability #AltRtEd #SpEd

This is a great visual for students and adults. #Growthmindset and the power of yet!

@RutgersAltRoute A2: As educators, it is so important for us to model what a growth mindset looks like, especially for our youngsters. We must teach them to embrace their mistakes because we learn and grow from our mistakes.

@RutgersAltRoute A7: #AltRtEd #Growthmindset
Students enter school with growth mindsets and start to label and limit themselves based on teachers assessments of them and the grades they receive. The “not yet” grade suggested in the reading encourages students to keep trying until until mastery

[HunterdonSailingClub @SailingHSC]

@RutgersAltRoute A6: #AltRtEd #growthmindset
Students must realize their effort determines the outcome of learning. This puts them in the drivers seat and in control. Praising effort over intelligence fosters a,growth mindset. Feedback like “I like the strategy you used” and “You worked hard”

[HunterdonSailingClub @SailingHSC]

@RutgersAltRoute I like the idea of writing a letter to students explaining my high expectations for them and letting them know no prior knowledge is needed for my class. I could give some tips how to avoid completing and comparing their performance to others. I think this would lessen anxiety.

[HunterdonSailingClub @SailingHSC]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: #AltRtEd #Growthmindset
I encourage and celebrate mistakes and use them as learning tools, focus on feedback instead of grades, and encourage students to self assess and set their own goals.

@RutgersAltRoute A3: #AltRtEd #Growthmindset
Giving up easily may make me think students have a fixed mindset when actually they want to learn and apply effort but the assignment was too difficult so they became too frustrated.

[HunterdonSailingClub @SailingHSC]

@RutgersAltRoute A2. In the “Pygmalion effect” teachers who expected more from students created a warmer climate, gave them more input and material to work on, called on them more often so they had more opportunity to speak, and accepted only high quality work. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute A2.
#AltRtEd #Growthmindset
Research has shown that students perform to their teacher’s expectations, even if those expectations are false. If teachers believe a student cannot learn something, she/he creates a self-fulfilling prophesy in interacting with that student.

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #Growthmindset A1
Mindsets play a big role in student motivation , effort, and efficacy. Students with growth mindset continue to learn and explore longer, persevere through difficult problems, and welcome challenges than those with fixed mindsets.

@RutgersAltRoute Hi I’m Linda Howard. I teach elementary strings in Princeton schools #altrted #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #EdTech A3: the situation is not always clear cut. Some circumstances may need to be discussed in depth with both parties involved. Other issues may be at play which need to be addressed.

[HunterdonSailingClub @SailingHSC]

@RutgersAltRoute @CDCgov A2: set rules and consequences the first day of class. Make anti-bullying policies clear at the beginning of the year. #AltRtEd #EdTech
