@RutgersAltRoute A5: Specific and measurable feedback/praise. Rather than consistently telling a student he/she is wrong, working with them to see how they found the answer or recreate their form and have them point out what they think they need to do differently. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: As a PE teacher, I’ve struggled to revise skill-based assessments because foundational skill assessments require students to perform the skill with specific technique. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I can my ask higher level critical thinking questions and offering challenge by choice for higher skill level students. For lower level students, I can break tasks up and allow students to “achieve” each level before moving on to show growth. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can promote a growth mindset by meeting students where they are taking their interests into account when trying to encourage a growth mindset. This is especially important for students who lack motivation or understanding of the content. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: The mindset a student has toward learning and developing can positively or negatively impact in the effectiveness of their learning and effort towards the subject/content #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Schools can fine tune practice by ensuring support staff members are properly trained and will successfully fulfill their responsibilities, allowing students with LD the highest chance of success. Additionally, creating appropriate skill level assessments. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I empower students to be self-advocates by creating a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable standing up for themselves and expressing their needs and/or struggles. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: Modifying equipment, field/space being used, non-verbal cues, visual aides, and pairing them with a peer buddy. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Frequent brain breaks during long periods of instruction, preferential seating, the appropriate use of a fidget toy, frequent check for understanding, and proximity during instruction. I will also frequently choose these students to be student skill models. #TeacherEd #SpEd

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute Q1: The most challenging part was the process of figuring out what works for that specific student in a non traditional classroom environment. I had a lot of great opportunities to try new things and get to know the student well! #TeacherEd #SpEd

@RutgersAltRoute Victoria Gonzalez - High School H&PE

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I spread kindness by greeting students throughout the building, in addition to the beginning/end of my class. I take interest in students lives outside of school by giving them a space to share about themselves before “business” starts. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: We can encourage students by fostering an environment where standing up for yourself and opening up in a safe space is the norm/expectation. Praise when students speak up is important when creating this environment. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: Creating a safe space for students to talk to you is important. Adults should listen without judgement and offering advice when necessary. Disclosing to students that we as teachers as mandated reporters is important during these conversations #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A2: I have observed harassment and bullying behaviors in my classroom. They have impacted students and the classroom environment because other students felt uncomfortable to be in class around them and were upset by the behaviors. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I build a supportive environment for students inside and outside school by fostering a safe and caring environment, expressing care interest in students hobbies and personal interests. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I have used technology to collaborate with other PE teachers on sites like PE Central, TikTok, X, and Instagram. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I use tech to engage families and parents through newsletters, interactive videos, photos, and this week/month in Health & PE! #TeacherEd #EdTech

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A3: AI has disrupted student learning by doing the work for students. We can fix this by showing students how to properly use AI and other benefits it has when used in education. #TeacherEd #EdTech

[tori gonzalez @torigonzalez05]

@RutgersAltRoute A2 - AI tools, such as MagicSchool AI help me create differentiated versions of my lesson plans, ensuring I'm meeting the needs of all my students. #TeacherEd #EdTech
