  • Hey everyone! Welcome BACK (Jeffrey voice) to another week in my life as a teacher. I cannot believe the year is almost over, but we are still out here making things happen--well, trying to! We are finishing one of my favorite books, having seminars, and trying out team trivia this week. I'm also trying to get organized and clean up since SO much piles up throughout the year. I say this at the end of the video, but just know that these videos are only a small portion of my week. There are so, so many positives when it comes to being a teacher, but there is also days where there are downs. Not everything is perfect, but that is what makes our job so rewarding. We have hard days, but we often grow from those hard days and so do our students. I hope you enjoyed this video, you being here means the world to me. Love you all!

    My name is Brittany! I teach 9th grade English as well as Introduction to Drama. Teaching is a huge passion of mine and that all begins with the opportunity to communicate with others with the hopes of making a positive difference. In addition to teaching I have a passion for giving back through Children’s Miracle Network Hospital’s. Content creation and RUclips has also always been a passion of mine-I love creating in a way that will motivate others to become the best version of themselves. I took a leap in 2017 and decided to create my RUclips channel where I share my life as a teacher and all things health, beauty, and positive living. I am never trying to be anyone else besides myself. I keep it real and true to who I am, I promised myself that would never change. I’m so grateful that you are here and I hope you stay, join in on this family, and continue to better yourself-you deserve it.

    11 years into teaching now. I'm ready for the summer break, but you're so right about thinking about students at all time. I spent last summer trying to find inspiration to do things that would be more interesting and fun for my students, while at the same time reaching their learning goals. That's when I found your channel :) When I've been having a rough patch this year, your positive and cheerful videos have helped me remembering the important stuff, and that has been a blessing. I hope your summer break will be relaxing and inspiring so that you can continue to be a positive influence in your students' lives!

    I’d loooove to see a video about all your favourite teaching approaches and activities you do with your students, and little things you do for your students to make their day! I’m a first year pre-service teacher and currently collecting ideas from all the educators that inspire me (you!) to change up how we learn in the classroom🥰

    Hi!!
    I was an English teacher in Israel for 40 years!!
    I enjoy watching your videos!!
    Teaching never ends. There is so much to do at home.
    It is very hard when you have children of your own.
    Hope you will have an easy end of the year
    In Israel they finish the year on June 30.
    Have a nice weekend.
    Shabat shalom.

    I LOVE that you took notes on that socratic seminar where the students could see it. It might encourage students to talk if they don't have lines to their name, be a gentle reminder to students who take up a little more than their fair share of space...love it. I'm going to steal that when I have my own classroom next year. Hooray for transparent grading practices!

I have been watching your videos non stop and love them.(and your flexible seating) You are so amazing,inspiring,and a wonderful person in and out. Like many kids I’ve always been asked what do you want to be ? And i never knew.. but after seeing you and watching how much you care for your students and want them to succeed I know that I want to be a teacher. Thank you for inspiring me - a very grateful girl from Houston Texas. 💛💛

I don’t know if you watch spoken word videos or not, but she is amazing and something about the way you enunciate and your facial expressions made me think of her. You’re awesome lady. Keep inspiring those kids (and us ❤️).

    The snap shot of the week you do for your students sounds very similar to the planner check my English teacher puts on her website, but we’re required to print it out and staple or glue it into our planners and she gives us five points each week for doing it which is a nice way to stay organized and pass high school.

    hey! I’m not sure if your markers are copics or knock off copics are not, either way they’re good artist quality. But when they dry up you can actually get ink refills for them! I’m not sure if off brand copics have refills but copics have ink refills that you can buy! and it’s way cheaper than getting a whole new marker 💛
