      I'm interested in becoming a Early Childhood Special Education or a K-2 CD teacher and I agree that sadly nowadays that they are not interested in becoming a teacher and CD stands for Communication Development for those who don't know what it is or might be confused and it's where kids can't talk and they get to be in that class.

      it is sad :( unfortunately in many places today especially in america teachers are severely underpaid, so of course less people would be interested - even those who would be AMAZING at it. they simply can’t afford to. that’s why we need to prioritize and invest in our education system like in california, the nordic countries, etc. it attracts more teachers and better teachers

    I love finding your page as you’re in the thick of being a fairly new teacher. I ‘m a FTM at the age of 40 and want to become a teacher. I’m also prior military and appreciate your tips and strategies to deescalate situations. It feels like going into “war”. Your entire spirit and personality is calm. That’s great for what you do. I will be following along your journey. We need more teachers who care and want to do this instead of being negative or quitting. Thanks for sharing!

    Kindergarten teacher! I did one day as a kindergarten teacher. Our principal wanted us to swap classes for one day. In the faculty meeting, the principal announced that, and our kindgarten teacher immediately jumped up, before anyone else could make a claim, and said that she wanted my seventh grade class. I am male, large and a bit long in the tooth. She is tiny, just 5ft. She offered that the kindergarten class came with an assistant, so I should not panic, and they got to take naps, she added. I survived. She, on the other hand, was immediately surrounded by my 7th graders, many taller than she. To make matters worse, all my kids knew her. We were in a very small rural school, where all the kids go through all the grades together, and she had had my kids when they were in kindergarten. Basically, one teacher per grade. They were super excited to see their old teacher. She told me later that everyone had a good time, but she could not see over them now. She never said anything about the lesson plans that I left for her, I don't think much got done that day.

I really recommend building a strong relationship with your mentor teacher first and once you are comfortable to slowly start adding in your own ideas.

    hey! I love watching your videos, I want to be a pre-K teacher one day and I was wondering on what major did you got to succeed of being one?of course if you're comfortable on telling me that. I'm currently 16 years old going on 17 soon and just wondering if you did psychology or a different major? anyways, keep the good work since I know there's a lot of people not interested in being a teacher nowadays, hope to be like you one day!

      I majored in Elementary Education. I went to FSU and they have a great combined degree program where I was also able to get my master's degree in curriculum and instruction. It allowed me to be certified to teach K-6!!
