@RutgersAltRoute Students involved in bullying need to know that they can go to a trusted adult for help. Fostering positive relationships with students/parents help them know that they will get the support they need. Have a clear school wide policy on bullying. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

Students can bully others, they can be bullied, or they may witness bullying. For our final question, think about the social and emotional needs of those involved in bullying #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute Harassment, bullying and intimidation needs to be carefully and thoroughly investigated. Addressing student and or parent concerns immediately is a must. Do not brush any comments or concerns aside when students tell you. Use prevention strategies. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

Reflect on your knowledge and understanding of harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB) from course readings and your experience to respond to Question 4 #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute I send out monthly newsletters on what is happening in the classroom and any updates. In the beginning of the year parents are informed of our classroom rules. We come up with the rules as a class and students sign the document. Administration helps. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

During last Saturday's #EdTech chat, it was noted that technology can foster collaboration. For Question 3, share your practices (high-tech and low-tech) for collaborating with families and colleagues to create a safe learning environment for all students #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@Corey_Cohen10 @RaqLedesma @RutgersAltRoute I love to have conversations with students like: tell me what you did this weekend, how were you feeling, etc...I make a goal to to have conversations with everyone to validate feelings and help them work through them as needed. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RaqLedesma @RutgersAltRoute How do u create inclusive learning, what is everyone learning about the other? What I have found is teacher's feel they know alot about their students, but it is really surface level information, how do you dig deeper? #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

To start us off, here's Question 1! When considering your "practices", you can think about your classroom management, curriculum, instructional practices, the academic/social/emotional skills you teach, and the physical/virtual space of your classroom #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@Sharlene_Laud @TeachingMomma29 @RutgersAltRoute For me, it is a schoolwide curriculum. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@TeachingMomma29 @RutgersAltRoute Hm interesting! Are the SEL lessons from a school wide curriculum or something you put together? #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

For Question 2, reflect on the materials you’ve read and your professional experience. Consider sharing factors that may be specific to your content area and grade level #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute A2 Steps include having a clear classroom management plan that the students know and practice daily. Having clear, set boundaries on what is appropriate behavior and what is not can help minimize bullying. Create an environment where all voices are heard. #TeacherEd #SafeSchools

@RutgersAltRoute A1: Current practices include teaching about bullying (SEL lessons), prevention practices (classroom management) and addressing any conflicts that arise between students immediately. Conducting a thorough investigation is a must.

@RutgersAltRoute Q5: I use Classroom Dojo(2nd grade). This app allows me to send updates to families and individual messages back and forth. Parents are given alerts for when they earn or get points taken away for behaviors. It is an all-encompassing app. #TeacherEd #EdTech

For our 5th and final question, we want to hear your ideas for engaging students' families. Consider what you already do or what you want to try next year to connect learning and form partnerships with families that can impact student success. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A4:Technology is a daily must for me! From lesson planning to storing materials in Google Drive and beyond! For students, I am mindful of how much they engage on their Chromebooks (2nd Grade) and will still use pen to paper activities for all subjects. Balance! #TeacherEd #EdTech

Technology has become an integral part of teachers' professional practice. For Question 4, let’s explore the benefits and unique challenges that educators must navigate. Consider any that may be specific to your content area and grade. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A3:In school we collaborate through our grade level meetings. We send each other resources, talk about challenges and wins and what has been working well. Outside of school we use email and texts to further collaborate as needed. #TeacherEd #EdTech

For Q3, consider the role of technology in your collaboration practices with colleagues, both within your school & through professional organizations. Collaboration is an opportunity for teachers to seek advice, wisdom, & assistance from their fellow educators. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute Some barriers include students going on apps and sites that they are not supposed to be, not following directions and overstimulation. I use Go Guardian to monitor the sites, clear step by steps, and downtime from screens whenever possible. #TeacherEd #EdTech

Ts and Ss may be used to seeing laptops and tablets in schools but research indicates that adequate preparation and training are key factors in the adoption & effectiveness of educational technology. For Question 2, we want to hear your experiences. #TeacherEd #EdTech

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I use technology to reinforce learning everyday. It it also used for assessments. #edtech

For Q1, consider your current use of technology in your classroom. Be specific to your content area & grade level. Remember to use "A1 #TeacherEd #EdTech" in your responses so others will see your tweets as part of the chat.

@RutgersAltRoute Addie, 2nd grade, Kindergarten next year!

@RutgersAltRoute A5I like to use rubrics for assignments as it gives students the opportunity to know exactly what the expectations are and how to meet them.l give some students opportunities to re-take a test when I know they can do better with extra practice. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

This morning's 5th and final Q is on assessment #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset “You can enhance or destroy students’ desire to succeed in school more quickly and permanently through your use of assessment than with any other tool you have at your disposal.” – Dr. Rick Stiggins

@RutgersAltRoute A4Praising the effort students put forth is key. I I want to provide feedback to not praise how smart they are, but praise the effort and hard work they are putting forth. Students start to realize that hard work pays off. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

Feedback is a compass for improvement and not all feedback is created equally. For Q4 share your content area and consider your best practices and those you would like to try #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@AnnaDrapczynski @RutgersAltRoute Yes, agreed! This is something that I want to do more.

@RutgersAltRoute A3: (2/2) One way I can fine-tune my practice is by further focusing on highlighting and praising effort in the classroom, not just correct responses. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

Framing, or how teachers introduce new concepts and tasks to students, is the focus of Q3. Framing can steer students to a fixed or growth mindset. It helps students feel free to be a work in progress as they learn. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute A3Fine tuning by encouraging to take learning risks, creating a safe space where mistakes will happen without judgement or bias. Showing how students can learn from each other, ask questions and relaying high expectations can cultivate a growth mindset. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

@RutgersAltRoute A2Teachers can create an inviting climate for all, not just high achievers, hold all students to high standards, give adequate feedback to all students and call on students equally – giving everyone a chance to work out an answer. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

For Q2, consider the expectations you communicate to students (verbal and nonverbal) through your classroom climate, course material & response opportunities #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset Tip: Be specific to your content & connect with others using a # like #ArtsEd #litchat #scichat

@RutgersAltRoute A1: I like the concept of not yet. Having a growth mindset helps teachers/students show that abilities can be developed through hard work, embrace failure and persevere. #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset

Teachers have the power to influence the mindset of students. As you answer #TeacherEd #GrowthMindset Question 1, consider your own experience, readings, and what Carol Dweck refers to as the power of “yet” (youtu.be/hiiEeMN7vbQ?si…)
