@RutgersAltRoute So many pieces of the assessment struggle Begins at a young age. By the time they reach high school the students are already anxious about these tests. I have changed a lot Of the assignments to project based learnings.

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 At the high school level Feedback is important to understand where the student is struggling. For my content area it’s important to keep students on track as it progresses through the year.

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

@RutgersAltRoute It’s important to approach the situation correctly and show them how to continue to grow and achieve their goal’s. Showing the students new tasks or new ways to achieve these objectives can help in the long run.

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 A2: it’s important to have relationships with these students first and use these as a learning experience. I try and give my studens all the tools they need to succeed. #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 Mindset is the key to provide he students with goals and allows them to see growth.. Providing students with these skills allows them to grow in different ways and helps teachers too. #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…)

@RutgersAltRoute Schools and districts can offer more professional development and training to help support us. Staff and its teachers are lifelong learners.

For our final question (Q5) consider your classroom AND school-wide behavior management and discipline policies. #TeacherEd #SpecialEd

@RutgersAltRoute The use of positive reinforcement is powerful tool for students and their self advocacy. It also allows students to engage and reach new goals.

Teachers play a role in helping students learn and practice self-awareness skills and communicate their understanding. For Q4 think about what you’ve done or ideas you’d like to implement to help students be self-advocates, agents of their own success #TeacherEd #SpecialEd

@RutgersAltRoute In high school business education it’s important to create real world situations and scenarios to help create interesting situations and scenarios. Creating videos and other tools can be helpful.

For Q3 be specific content area & how you support student success, for example, your classroom environment, assignments, and assessments #TeacherEd #SpecialEd Tip: To connect with our teachers in your subject area, use the # for your content area, i.e #arted #mathchat #scichat

@RutgersAltRoute I think the video gave great advice and also think it’s important to break down instructions into chunks. Avoid giving a lot of information and instructions right from the start especially at the high school level.

Dr. Jonas Bromberg & teacher Jon Weinberger discuss classroom strategies to support students with ADHD (youtube.com/watch?v=Dd62-e…) like providing fidget tools and offering checklists. For Question 2 (Q2) consider what's worked or ideas you want to try #TeacherEd #SpecialEd

@RutgersAltRoute The process to create a a fair and s equal class has made it possible for students to use different tools and rescources. Different students need different tools and need more time and attention to communicate and understand the concepts.#TeacherEd #SpecialEd

For Question 1 (Q1), reflect on your experience and current practices for creating an inclusive learning environment for students with learning disabilities. #TeacherEd #SpecialEd
