@Literaturechick @RutgersAltRoute Me too, they are very thankful for the accommodation.

@DaimalyG @RutgersAltRoute I have done this too - and the kids are very appreciative of it. I would rather change the date than cause them unnecessary stress!

Our last question for this morning, Q5. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@cstokesopus91 @RutgersAltRoute I agree with you 100%, growth rather than compliance.

@RutgersAltRoute A5: I'm still working towards designing assessments around growth rather than compliance. My focus for next year is limiting these type of assessments and framing assessments around growth. #altrted #growthmindset

@Spedteacher2022 @RutgersAltRoute I really love that you give feedback that is interactive. Students should be able to respond and ask questions to the commentary given. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I love giving feedback that is interactive and requires students to respond to. I feel like feedback should be more reflective and not just focus on what you did wrong. I often find myself thanking my students for attempting an assignment, complimenting them on what they did

Time for Question 4! #AltRtEd #Growthmindset Consider your content area and use the # for your content area, i.e #litchat #science #elemchat to help others see your ideas.

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Positive and specific feedback is important. Feedback should be directed to the effort , strategies used, & persistence in the learning process more than the intelligence and abilities of the student. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute A4: Feedback must be meaningful. It has to instill some growth in our scholars. Rubrics that students actually understand are meaningful because they are able to see why they received the score they did and what they can do to reach a higher score. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@m1lKb4C3real @RutgersAltRoute Yes she is. I love her videos and readings.

@DaimalyG @RutgersAltRoute Angela Duckworth is a great researcher and colleague to look into.

For Question 3, consider your role i.e teacher, administrator, parent. Think about your current practices or things you'd like to do in the future. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute Teachers can also embrace and show students the POWER of perseverance. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@RutgersAltRoute A2: Teachers can encourage growth by implementing positive affirmations. They can also differentiate the level of the assignments so that students who have a more difficult time with the content to not become discouraged. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

For Q2, consider teacher influence in the classroom through the environment they create and decision-making in lesson planning. #AltRtEd #Growthmindset

@cibaena_46 @RutgersAltRoute Yes, or they have this notion that only grades above a 90 deserve to be on the bulletin board! I have to explain to them that ALL student work deserves a chance to be on the board, even those with more MEANINGFUL feedback.

@DaimalyG @RutgersAltRoute Yes! I’ve seen some of my students believing that they can’t do well because they have not been good at x before. It’s always a surprise for them when I put their work up on the bulletin board!

@KabbaniGSE Good morning Professor Kabbani!

Good morning - it’s time for the Growth Mindset Twitter chat! Sign in here, please, teachers. #AltRtEd

@RutgersAltRoute Good morning!! Happy Saturday!

Good morning Twitter! This is a *high volume* warning, as we'll be hosting a chat this morning at 10 AM (EST). Consider joining the conversation #AltRtEd #growthmindset

Thank you @RutgersAltRoute for another amazing and engaging Twitter Chat. Reading other teacher's responses was very informative. All in all, patience is a virtue that goes a long way with our students. #AltRtEd #Sped

@RutgersAltRoute #AltRtEd #Sped

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Schools can fine-tune behavior management by being consistent throughout the school year and for all students. I personally do not react to everything a student does. If it is impeding my other students from learning then it is something I address and speak to students alone.

Last but not least, Q5. Consider your classroom and your school's policies and practices #AltRtEd #Sped

@cibaena_46 @RutgersAltRoute This is absolutely true! Checklists are a great way to promote student success and responsibility.

@RutgersAltRoute A4: providing checklists, graphic organizers, short timed tasks, and small group activities are great ways to support students with ADHD. Just as small (short term) goals lead to large (long term) goals, small tasks eventually amount to large gains #AltRtEd #SpEd

For Q4 cosider what your experience and readings/multimedia viewings. In this video youtube.com/watch?v=Dd62-e… Dr. Jonas Bromberg & Jon Weinberger discuss classroom strategies for supporting students ADHD, like providing fidget tools & offering checklists #AltRtEd #Sped

@RutgersAltRoute A4: To help support in-person and virtual learning students with ADHD can be given brain breaks, the use of online platforms such as Flipgrid, Quizizz, Gimkit, Kahoot are all helpful to maintain student engagement. #AltRtEd #Sped

@RutgersAltRoute A3: I truly believe that patience goes a long way. As educators we must understand that each student learns differently. We can allow student movement, choice and sharing of opinions to assist with differentiation. #AltRtEd #Sped
