@RutgersAltRoute A5:We can start by providing counseling, teaching empathy and conflict resolution, involving restorative justice programs, and building a support network with peers, teachers, and families. These components will show their intrinsic value by the community. #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 A4: These present challenges like managing classroom dynamics and addressing student trauma. They also offer learning opportunities to develop better conflict resolution skills, foster empathy, and create a more inclusive educational environment. #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 A3: I collaborate with colleagues and families by maintaining open communication, participate in meetings on this, sharing resources, involving parents in school activities, and action plans to address student and community needs. #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

@RutgersAltRoute A2: The minimize the factors that lead to bullying in both the classroom and the school community I promote respect and empathy, establish clear anti-bullying policies, encourage reporting and support for victims, but also teach to students the dangers. #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 A1: I start off the year with establishing and heavily enforcing expectations for my classroom. We build classroom community and create a together identity. I also provide resources for my students that may need extra support. #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

@RutgersAltRoute A5: Teachers can use apps, emails, and online portals to share updates, track progress, and host virtual meetings, fostering better communication and engagement with student families. #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: Benefits for teachers include enhanced lesson planning, interactive tools, and personalized learning. Challenges involve tech reliability, training needs, and maintaining student engagement. #EdTech #TeacherEd

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: I speak with colleagues regularly about software and programs that they use to engage, grade, organize, and challenge student work and participation. This has helped me expand the resources and tools that I use in my classroom. #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 A2: Some barriers to technology include the access to use that at home, distractions on the laptop/tablet, and sometimes it is better for students to just write in order to learn compared to always typing. #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: Technology can enhance history education for 12th graders by providing interactive timelines and online primary sources, making learning more engaging and immersive. #TeacherEd #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 A5: My experience teaching has shown me that assessments I do need to be more skill focus. I try to have students write about the content so that they can be as engaged as possible with the work and use it actively instead of a recall exam. #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 A4:Feedback that relates back to growth would be adjusting lessons to make sure students are active in their learning, participating and understanding why they are learning the material. Feedback would be essential for us to make sure we are doing we can.#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

@RutgersAltRoute A3: When I teach I like to frame questions in a way that connects the material back to thes students life. If we are talking about the federal budget, I may ask them if schools should get more funding for resources, or if it should be reduced for taxes. #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 A2: Teachers can promote growth mindset by making connections to the students lives and showing how the material can live with them. Students should be encouraged to share their perspectives and get comfortable with having different views. #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: The mindset students have when approaching a challenge creates the opportunities or road blocks. A student that approaches a problem from a can't do mentality will have a significantly harder time and not learn as much, vise versa is true as well. #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 A5: Being more consistent and enforcing the policies that we have already, but also showing students the impact of their decisions on the community that they are a part of. Only through self reflection can students grow out of poor decisions. #TeacherEd #SpecialEd

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

@RutgersAltRoute A4: I try to develop strong relationships with my students so they feel they can approach me with issues or concerns that they have in the classroom or outside of class. I tell my students in life they must advocate and represent themselves. #TeacherEd #SpecialEd

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
