@@AProAmature thank you for the recommendations! I’ll try these out!

Thank you for your comment! What part of Australia are you from? My sister, husband and I visited Brisbane last year and love the area!

@@myhomeandgardenchanneldwel7777 thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment!

Oh my goodness, congratulations!! That's so exciting to hear! Best of luck to you! I'll try to put out more content soon; I might switch to blogs, not sure. This year's been hectic and I've had no time to film or edit, but I'll try to film something soon! I think it's been over a year since I posted, yikes!

No worries! This content has been very helpful 🙏🏼 I’d be interested in keep up with your blogs should you go that route or instagram if you have it 🤠

Congrats on passing!! Most jobs start posting in March or April so you’ll hopefully find something soon! I’ll be praying about it for you!

You got this! It’s definitely tough at first, but it does get better!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

Thank you! I appreciate it! My biggest burn out factor is student behavior, especially since I’m still learning how to manage them. But I help myself by talking to veteran teachers, listening to the advice of my admin when they review my teaching, and staying informed about new practices. I also get burned out if I’m not taking care of myself. I try to have a routine which includes eating healthy, exercise, having something to look forward to when I get home (it’s important to know you have a life outside of work) and not working past my contract hours! I might make a separate video if I can think of more. Thanks for the suggestion and good luck in your transition!

Did you ever transition to a teaching job? I'm about to transition to one as well and I have the same concerns. I'd like to know how things worked out for you??

No, I did some volunteer work teaching kids and decided that it’s not quite what I’m looking for. Best of luck to you though!

@@cherrypie1998g well the Lord is having me to get back in the profession so I know He will make a way and it will be for His glory. His favor will he on me since it's his will.

I didn’t, but this was also during hybrid when I had only a few kids in the building. I didn’t do it my second year because the fish tank was too large and was requiring me to do too much work. I’m sure the students would have loved to help, but it still was a process! Overall, they didn’t mess with it. They thought it was the coolest thing and loved to feed the fish! I had students in other teacher’s classroom and said I had the coolest room because of the fish tank which was so nice to hear after the amount it had cost! Definitely give it a go, but my recommendation is to start on the smaller side and If you enjoy the tank, work your way to a larger one!

One more thought: while the salt water fish were really cool, I actually had more fun with the Molly fish (you can convert these freshwater fish to saltwater) because they were more active and less likely to hide. They also spawned more easily which was cool from a biology perspective. And they are way cheaper!

omg i know u said this a while ago but I’m finishing my Bio Ed degree and starting WGU in august and I’m so excited

Thank you! I really needed to hear that! I should be putting out more videos towards the start of school in August 😊

I’m thinking about teaching earth science to

Hello! This is a tricky one :/ I would say the best thing to do is to ask yourself what you feel most passionate about. Do you feel more excitement about being a wildlife biologist/conservationist/ zoologist? Or do you feel more excitement about being a science teacher? Funny enough, my second career choice would have been wildlife conservation so, interest wise, we’re in the same boat! It sounds like you’re interested in the zoo aspect but are nervous about continuing your major because these classes may be difficult in the future. I would personally say to stick with the major that you’re in. It sounds like you’ve already taken a decent amount of the hard classes. Sometimes colleges put the hard classes first to weed out folks and put slightly easier classes later. If you do end up switching your major to earth science education, you’ll still have to take difficult courses. I had to take 2 Chem classes, 2 physics classes, 2 calculus classes (for astronomy) and several astronomy classes including mathematics based astronomy which was an extremely difficult class for me. Additionally, I’ve learned that earth science is a dying science, at least in the state that I am in. Most students are choosing to take bio and if they need an extra credit, they’ll take environmental science. So try not to think about which major is easier because I would say both are equally difficult. If you’re passionate about your science, though, that passion is what will help drive your though through the difficult courses. So pick the major you feel passionate about and keep pushing through! You got this! I hope this helps and let me know what you decide!

Thank you! I’m glad I can help! At my school, resources like that are usually handed down from veteran teachers to newer teachers. If everyone in your subject area is new (or if you’re the only one in your subject area) then finding resources is usually the teachers responsibility. However, you can usually find some in either your districts page, your states department of education page, or through the web. If you search through the web, just make sure it matches the standards you have to cover. If you teach earth science or are planning to, I’d be happy to share some of my resources!

Hi Austin! Thanks for the comment! Have you been accepted into a college yet? If not, I recommend a community college near you. They usually accept students up until classes start and require a lower GPA than other colleges. You still have time to boost your GPA! Go to school tutoring, ask for help from your teachers, and look up online videos of the subjects you are learning. I’m a visual learner and benefitted so much from the educational videos that are out on RUclips. If you do the community school route, you’ll get to take all of your gen Ed’s there and then transfer to a 4 year as a junior for your education degree. I recommend an adolescent degree in science because you’ll get more teaching experience, but you can also get a traditional science degree and do the certification tests along the way. Hope this helps and congratulations on your upcoming graduation and career goals!

Don’t be freaked out by your high school GPA. Everything will reset when you go to college and there are many public colleges that do not have a GPA requirement and oftentimes are cheaper too!

Hello Thalia! I’m earth science, but the process is very similar! If you’d like to teach, I’d recommend an education bachelors degree in your subject. I got my degree in adolescent education which was great to teach me teaching strategies and how to create lessons in my content area. At the end of your degree, most likely junior and senior year, you’ll have to take certification tests (the type depend on the state/country you’re in). There’s a few other ways as well but that’s my recommendation if you know you want to be a teacher! Good luck!

Hi Meg! I’d recommend getting a copy of the textbook for sure! Even though it might be a concept you’re familiar with, some time you may have questions during planning and having the textbook to answer questions is super helpful. I’d also recommend, if possible, trying to plan a week ahead and staying a week ahead in planning. And when making lesson, make sure that you try to include the trio - lecture/notes portion, other media learning portion (reading, video, etc.), and a small activity whether it’s a worksheet or more hands on. I’ll try to make a video when I think of more tips. Good luck and I hope this helps!

@@teachingthemgreen4379 that would be great!! Thank you so much for the advice!!

Thanks you too! I majored in Adolescent education: Earth Science. The benefit was learning teaching strategies. To be fair, I didn’t really learn any form my general education courses (education philosophy type classes). The best classes were the education classes specially for science students. Each student had to create a lesson on something they would actually teach and present it to the class as a demo lesson. It gave you experience in class and your professor and peers gave you feedback on what worked and what could be improved. The downside to getting an education degree is that you lose out on some geology content. I didn’t take higher level geology classes (hydrology is the only one I remember) because they weren’t required, but it would have been interesting to take them. Since you’re a junior, what I would recommend if you’re interested in teaching earth science or environmental science is doing a career switcher path or something equivalent. Essentially you apply for the job and let them know you’ll be enrolled in certification classes to get certified to teach. I’ve known several teachers that took this route. Now that I think of it, the majority of my science colleagues are career switchers. The certification process I don’t believe is difficult; you have to pass a few tests - earth science content knowledge, usually a student with disabilities teach/teaching students with diverse needs. Things along those lines. I hope that helps and good luck with your degree!
