@@Streznick , to your point, I think it’s important to teach students to think critically for themselves. I do agree it’s important to teach government and not push personal agendas.. Be well my friend.

Thank you for the compliment. The best advice I have is to do a search engine search on frequently asked interview questions. Write out the answers to give them some thought. Then practice answering the questions with a friend. Pro tip: record the answers and decide how you might want to change them. I hope that helps! Good luck!

​@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 I’ve just been practicing in front of the mirror, but I haven’t tried recording myself yet. That’s such a great idea! I love the thought of rewatching the recordings to see my reactions. I’ll definitely keep watching your other videos for more tips. Thanks a ton!

Thank you for watching. Keep being a hero to our students! And have a great school year!

@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 You too! You should be making more videos.

@@margkropf5541 , thanks for watching the video and sharing your experience. Have a great school year this Fall! And keep being a hero to our students!

Thanks for watching. To answer your question, every state and every school district have different requirements. I would recommend reaching out to the cool districts you have interest in .Ask each of them their specific requirements.

@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 make sense. understood

@23drcharles, Agree entirely. I worked in the private sector prior to teaching. It was much easier and obviously much more lucrative. I tell people all the time that teaching is basically going up on stage for 6 performances per day with 6 minute breaks in between - no other profession is as taxing on the body. When I bring guest speakers in for the set, most look at me at the end of the day and ask, “how are you able to do this every day?” Thanks for sharing your input. Have a great Summer!

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your Summer! And keep being a hero to the future!

Thank-you for the kind words. It’s comments like yours that validate taking the time to pass on what I have learned the past 27 years. It’s not my goal to be a big time teacher influencer. My goal is to pass on what I have learned to other educators. I simply look at what I’m doing each week and/or the challenges I have faced each week and share thoughts on them that I think might benefit other teachers. Even after 27 years I’m still learning & growing. It’s a journey filled with many rewarding experiences like changing lives and many challenges as well. Enjoy it each step of the way. You are in a hero’s journey! Thanks for being a hero to our kids! Thanks for your hard work and dedication! Have a great last few weeks of the school year. And keep being AWESOME!

Great to hear from you Phil! So glad to hear that your dad is still doing well! Look forward to catching up in person soon - maybe this Summer. Keep being awesome old friend!

Fair point. I don’t have stats on that either. In addition to teaching, I own a medical/pharmaceutical sales recruiting business to make it financially. So, I definitely have a bias for that industry. You may be correct in a number of other industries. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching. Have a great school year. And keep being a hero to our kids!

Perfectly stated! Thank you for sharing! Keep being a hero to our kids! Have a great rest of the school year! And congrats on your Teacher of the Year award!

Thank you for watching. And thank you for the compliment. Great comment. The two are intertwined to some degree, but if I was to separate them, I would say the following. A teaching philosophy is the teacher’s pedagogy. I simple terms, the teachers belief in which strategies & philosophies are most effective in the classroom. For instance, I believe learning needs to be relevant. I’m a strong believer in cooperative learning. And when I use cooperative learning I like to pair students together who are at very different levels academically. The goal is to have a student who is strong in a particular skill teach a student who may be struggling. Both benefit. The struggling student may learn something better when presented by a peer. The strong student has to really take a deeper dive into the subject to understand it well enough to teach another. Another philosophy is “hands on learning” is effective. Teaching Philosophy Statements are often written documents shared with others as well. When applying for jobs in education, you may be asked to write a Teaching Philosophy Statement. There is a lot of information posted on the internet explaining what is involved with that. When I discuss teaching style, basically I’m sharing my opinion in regard to how to execute your teaching philosophy. In the example above, you can execute cooperative learning as both an extroverted and an introverted teacher. You can execute that strategy as both a strict teacher or a laissez-faire teacher. Where they become intertwined is the adaptations the teacher needs to make to adjust her/his personality and style into the teaching strategy. A introverted strict teacher is probably going to want to execute cooperative learning differently than a laissez-faire extroverted teacher. Both can use the strategy effectively, but it will look a lot different in each classroom. I hope that helps clarify. Thanks for watching! And keep being a hero to the future of America!

As always, thanks Phil!

Great advice Phil! Thanks for sharing!

@elstewart, try this link. I’m not sure why you’re seeing a green peace video. If this doesn’t work, I’ll see if there is something else I can do to fix it. ruclips.net/video/oL5DYb9zgGw/видео.htmlsi=h4CzvINUkhHfp3Ud

That works, thank you! @@colestersclassroom-teachin105

Brooklynegg, Substitute teaching is one of the most difficult jobs in the World. Thank-you for what you do! Sorry to hear that the students are not behaving. I’m happy to try to do a little brainstorming with you to try to come up with a couple of ideas. What age group? How many students are misbehaving? What are they doing?

Phil, As always, thanks for sharing your opinion! Will try to catch up with you for a Rangers game this summer. I should restate that. Will try to catch up with you to watch our “World Champion Texas Rangers” play a game this summer 😊

Thanks for being a hero to our young people! Have a great semester!!!

Phil, thanks for the kind words. Always a pleasure hearing your opinion!

Phil, Great point! God fits in at the top of the list,

@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 😇

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Every teacher and course can adjust the percentage to fit their rigor. I absolutely agree there needs to be explanations for each question missed so that the student is benefiting from the test correction process. Thank-you for your input & thoughts regarding this. Have a great rest of the school year. And keep being a hero to our students!

First of thanks for taking the time to watch my video. Great question. Those actually my favorite ones to work with. I ask them this question, “how would you handle your behavior if you were the teacher?” Here is a link to a video going into much more detail. Have a great school year and keep being awesome! ruclips.net/video/lrvq4oCHT9Q/видео.htmlsi=R04NpXlGMr5Ja5-C

Completely agree that not all parents are going to support teachers. In cases like that, you need to document everything with referrals. However, before I start documenting, I reach out to the parents to see if I can their support. Some parents are very supportive. Some are not. However, when you are fortunate enough to receive parent support, it helps tremendously. Have a great school year!

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Have a great rest of the school year. And thanks for being a hero to the future of America 😊

I'm working on that.

Me too after 16 yrs of teaching.

@Repaks1201 , thanks for taking the time to watch my video. So, sorry that our profession lost you.

Thanks for watching the video and sharing your opinion. It’s definitely a complex problem. Keep being a hero to our students! And have a great rest of the school year!

Phil, I always enjoy hearing from you. Thanks for watching the videos & sharing your input. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Thank-you for watching them. Have a great rest of the school year. Keep being a hero to our kids! And Happy Thanksgiving ❤️

Phil, great to hear from you! Many blessings to you & your family! Keep being awesome! Miss you old friend! And GO RANGERS!!!!

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked the video. Keep being a hero to our young people! And have a great school year!

Always love to hear from you Phil. Hope you are doing well 😊

Sad, but unfortunately true sometimes. I’m lucky that I’m in a situation where my Admin team is very supportive. Unfortunately, I know many teachers who don’t have that support system. Thanks for watching the video. Thanks for the response. Keep being a hero! And have a great rest of the year!

Agree entirely.

Sarah, Thanks for watching the video. And thanks for your response. I started this journey as a sub before earning the position I’ve held for the past 27 years. My wife has been subbing for various classes for several years. Both of us believe you can usually tell a lot about the teacher & classroom culture by the way students act when they have a sub. IMO, this is usually true, but not always. What’s really interesting is watching how some students act up in one class but not another. It comes down to the culture and classroom management of the teacher. I agree, as a sub, you have to pick your battles. And this isn’t a battle a sub should probably engage in. However, a full time teacher needs to. Because as soon as one person establishes this as a norm, other students start doing it as well. And if you let one slide and not everyone else, students view you as being unfair and/or playing favorites. Clearly I made one mistake on the video. I must not have clarified that this was a Crocodile Hunter video featuring Steve Irwin & I teach Ecology. So, the video covered several of the state teaching standards including food chains, predator/prey relationships, flora & fauna of Australia and other standards as well. I don’t believe in showing videos that don’t cover state standards. Class time is too valuable. Thank you for being a sub. It’s a difficult thankless job, but very important. Have a great school year. And keep being awesome. On a side note. I love the idea of getting the worst behaved students to help with discipline. Sometimes if you give them a job, you can get them to be productive helpers. Nice job :)

@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 Oh really, that's interesting. Maybe I'll try it. You are right about giving an inch and the kids taking a mile. The other day, I was using a cute notepaper the teacher had to write down where I left off in class, which child was misbehaving (only to be told the child was autistic, so not sure how to know what that means when he pulls a chair from under a kid, who then has to go to the nurse). Then I let one child use a piece of notepaper. Then a bunch of kids came and took the cute paper. And as they left class, one girl was hurridly pulling pieces out, so I left the teacher a much smaller notepad than she had. I wanted to write an apology but didn't have the time. There's so much to learn. It is chaos much of the time so far.

@@sarahcohen3844 So sorry to hear that. Hang in there. I don’t know your situation, but if you can select which teachers you sub for, that might help. My wife will only sub for select teachers with great classroom management. But many prolific aren’t in that position. She is only a part time sub.

@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 No, I sub with apps: Swing Education and next week, moving to Kokua. I see which school needs someone for a day or a few months (I'm too awful a sub for anyone to want me for more than a few days so far.) I've been part-time but may make sense to see what happens full-time if possible. These apps will kick me off as necessary, I guess. I can't say I'm good at this. Just that I try. I'm a reporter, but came across hard times. All I can say is, teaching is really hard. It's known they deserve far more pay than they get.

Thanks for your response. Completely understand your thought process - and agree that at some point students who consistently misbehave need to have experts take a deeper dive into what is driving the misbehavior. Have a great school year! Thanks for being a hero to our young people. And keep being AWESOME!

@@colestersclassroom-teachin105 I was considered a "problem child" because of boredom and consequent rebelliousness. This period existed from first through twelfth grades. Constant, protracted battles with my parents and teachers and administrators. Half the school year out sick. Going away to college changed everything and I graduated Summa Cum Laude four years later. (I still have "problems" with rebelliousness which stem from the fact that many people--teachers and employers--give commands without explaining the reasoning behind them. The "pedagogy"--such as it is, remains most places in Nineteenth Century mode. I ain't doin' it.) I teach college English and am a successful fiction writer. My students love me.

Thank-you for taking the time to watch my videos. Thank-you for the kind words. But most of all, thank-you for being a hero to our young people out there!!! Keep being awesome!

Glad the video could help you come up with some ideas. Have a great school year! And keep being a hero to our kids!

Thank-you for the compliment regarding the video. I’m sorry to hear the headwinds you are facing in your own district. Keep fighting the good fight. And keep being a hero to our students!
