A2: ELLs must be encouraged to maintain their cultural identity while they learn the English language and culture. #AltRtEd #ELL

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

A1: Ts need to focus on Ss strengths and highlight strengths in the language, but also those that transcend language. #AltRtEd #ELL

Thanks for the chat, everyone! #altrted #sped

@kbryteaches Great article!! Thanks for sharing!

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

@BlainlySpoken I agree, they could be helpful. Like they say in the video we saw, if you don't have to look to fidget, it could be helpful!

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

This is something I have been wondering about lately. What do you guys think? #AltRtEd #Sped https://t.co/j22hIsyUJ1

What techniques have worked for your child or student? #reading #dyslexia

A2: GenEd teachers should focus on strengths of all Ss to encourage success. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

@kbryteaches @BlainlySpoken That's a great strategy! I'm going to try that!!

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

A1: I think most about setting goals that all can reach. It may look different for each Ss, but I keep the goals accessible. #AltRtEd #SpEd

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

Thanks everyone for an informative and entertaining conversation about growth mindset!! #altrted

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

A7: It is important for Ts to assess when students are ready to be assessed, & to avoid or keep assessment light w/ new material. #AltRtEd

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

@Rebecca010329 I enjoy having them create goals and then reflect on them after a project! This lets them monitor progress, allowing them to see effort!

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

A6: Ts should praise the learning process, such as noting that Ss have made efforts to improve or understand difficult material. #AltRtEd

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

A5: Going forward, I would like to vocalize my expectations more directly to encourage students to achieve more. #AltRtEd

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

@BlainlySpoken I agree! Some teachers could mistake lack of direction for lack of interest. It is important that we guide our Ss!

[Kaitlin Whitman @srta_whitman]

A4: Ss who ignore written feedback may care about improvement but feel overwhelmed/not know what the next step is. #AltRtEd
