@RutgersAltRoute A5. Differentiating assessments for students. Allowing students to go back correct mistakes. Not using assessments, as a "gotcha". One thing I do in my classroom is having students create assessment questions. Which I use when creating quizzes or test #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A4. Detailed feedback that lets student know what they did right and what mistakes were made. Working with the student so they learn why they made the mistake and how to possibly avoid doing it again. Praising them along the way as well. #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute Q3: Beginning lessons by telling the students that they are going to be pushed academically, that they may make mistakes & that this is part of learning, telling them that no previous experience is necessary will establish growth mindset in class #growthmindset#TeacherEd
@RutgersAltRoute A3: With regards to framing, a lot of my lessons are geared towards cultivating a healthy debate among students. My world history curriculum allows for many opportunities for students to formulate arguments and use critical thinking. #TeacherEd#growthmindset
@RutgersAltRoute A3. Being supportive of your students when they are struggling. Asking students what they could do differently the next time. Showing them that you as a teacher also have to learn and grow. #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A2. One way to promote growth mindset in the classroom is by having positive reinforcements posted through the classroom. I also have emotional check in board. #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute A1: Mindset is the elephant in the room! Challenge: baggage students come to school with…opportunity: how we as educators help them unpack that baggage, promote a growth mindset, so they are motivated and open to learning! #TeacherEd#growthmindset
A5 Make sure you review your data to see what works, and revise practices when things aren't working. Meet as a team (admin, parents, case mgr’s, counselors, classroom assistants, student) to make sure everyone is on the same page in regards to school policy #AltRtEd#SpEd
@RutgersAltRoute A4. Preferential seating decided where to sit them and who to seat next to the student. Given the constraints I have in my classroom, seating plays a huge role. I like the idea of a checklist so that students can keep up with what is due when. Organization suppor!#AltRtEd#SpE
@RutgersAltRoute A3. Flex seating is my big go to these days especially when student have to read for social studies. I find that some students work better when they are not confined to a desk and chair or in the case of my classroom the science lab stations. (#AltRtEd#SpEd)
@RutgersAltRoute A2. Making sure students are aware that they can advocate for themselves. Also encouraging students to be involved in their learning process (#AltRtEd#SpEd)
@RutgersAltRoute One of the biggest challenges has been classroom size. With 23 students and only 45 mins of class time it is a challenge at times to give students with learning disabilities the extra time and support that is needed.(#AltRtEd#SpEd)
@RutgersAltRoute Making sure my students actual know it is okay to make mistakes. Life is a learning process that last a lifetime. If we stop learning, we stop growing. I will be making sure my students know and understand this concept. #AltRtEd#SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute Every student has a person who they feel safe with. While we might not be the person for every student, every student has a person and knowing who that person is very important. #AltRtEd#SafeSchools
