Love your videos!! I really want to become a primary school teacher and even answered almost every question with yes. So exciting!!
Go for it!!
Hi wat alevels shall i take to become a primary school teacher please help im really stressed
Did you wind up going back to school and if so how did it go?
I want to be a 3rd grade teacher because my 3rd teacher was the best so I want to be like her
Congratulations!!!!!
My only fear in becoming a teacher is gaining respect from students. I've seen so many teachers (mostly in middle and h.s) get absolutely wrecked because students can see that they have no back bone. Getting papers thrown at them, their name made fun of- it was always painful to watch a roomful of teens obnoxiously laugh at their teacher
same. i’m going to school to teach elementary and i’m not that great at disciplining kids or getting their respect
I’m so so scared of this too 😳
@@MrEmery15 same I want to teach elementary special education but where ever my school district puts me I’ll stay.
Exactly why I would never try and be a middle or highschool teacher I think they’re an important group of kids to teach and if I was rougher around the edges I’d go for it but I think you need to learn to analyze your own personality and think About which grade level is most appropriate for your personality!
Absolutely right
1. Are you goal oriented? 2. Are you organized 3. Do teaching credential classes sound fun? 4. Would you like to spend 40 hrs a week with children? 5. How would you feel if someone younger than you would tell you how to do your job? 6. Can you explain directions concisely? 7. Do you provide attention to your loved ones? 8. How flexible are you with your planning? 9. If someone really annoys you, how do you handle it?
And 10? Idk. I missed one, I guess.
Thank you teacher!
You didn't miss one. She missed out on one lol. I was like," how did we jump from 07 to 09? Where's 08?"
Sge missed number 8. She jumped from 7 to 9.
“are you present”
me, dissociating 80% of the time: 👁👄👁💧
Whenever I struggle in college I always watch your videos because they truly motivate me to move forward ❤️❤️
Awww thank you for watching, Alex!
I have always been told that I should be a teacher--by almost everyone I have known personally. After years of ignoring the idea, I now hope to become one in the next few years. Thanks for the video.
How did it go?? I’m in the same position.
@@Elle-vm3geme too😅
You are so adorable 😍 this video is perfect. My favorite was the part about staying in the “present” it’s so important to be in the moment with kiddos and have them build those amazing memories with their teacher. A small moment to us could be the one they remember 20 years from now ❤️
Absolutely the memories are everything
This video has made me really think about deeply about my career goals😂
LOVED all the food for thought and how you came about that! It really put things into perspective and I liked the affirmation that those skills could be developed or enhanced :)
Yesssss 😙
Just discovered your channel and I answered Yes to be majority of these questions. Super psyched considering I am moving forward to pursue my teaching degree!
Hi Katia! How exciting!! Yay I'm glad you feel encouraged :)
This video helped me so much and gave me a lot to think about. I now have some clarity on the things I need to consider when making my decision on becoming an educator! Thank you so much!
Glad I could contribute with my music! :)
I love your channel so much! By far my fave teacher blogger! Thank you for such great advice and experiences that you share with us!
Im so grateful I came across your channel. Thank you so much for these videos. They’re very helpful and reassuring.👍🏽👌🏽
It's my second year teaching third grade and I love it! I started using the hybrid classroom setup and it requires a lot of setup, but I believe it is very worth it!
Oooo can you tell me more about your hybrid classroom? :)
@@mayaleex3 I'm teaching in third grade, so I have all the subjects. I set it up in four sections. The first section is the independent section, where students work all by themselves, usually on writing pieces, but I let them wispier quietly. the second section is workshop. Part of our school's ELA curriculum requires 40 minutes of silent reading, so I have it set up so students do it at that section, and they are absolutely silent. The third section is collaborative. This is where the students work with partners usually on digital science or social studies, aka history projects. For this section I have flexible seating much like your classroom, which I love by the way. The fourth and final section is teacher. This is where we always write in our journals first, then I usually explain things in any of the subjects, except for math. At the last hour and a half of the day, we come together and do do math as a full class. Sorry for typing so much, but hope it helps! :)
Oh, I forgot to add that each section is 44 minutes, with one minute of transition time.
Good job Cameron
@@cameronh.3060 Are all the students doing the same thing at the same time? Are these four sections of 45 minutes your four teaching blocks with other teachers covering the rest (gym, music, etc)? Are you still using this approach? Thanks for sharing this approach!!
I agree flexibility is super important. If you are not flexible, the children will pick this up during a time change. Not good for you or for your class.
Definitely! They catch onto everything :)
I don’t lash out or get openly angry but I do internalise frustration when I’m stressed and when people irritate me
Same with me
Thank you. I'm a high school substitute teacher currently, without a BS degree (only an AS). I have never loved a job more than I love Subbing. But it is different from being the actual teacher. With this pandemic, I'm only scared of not having a job when schools open. I honestly don't even know where to start with going back to school or should I even pick one subject over general education. I'd love to hear what others might think. Oh, BTW I'm 40 and the mother of small children.
Thanks for much for sharing! Your video was amazing! Love your enthusiasm and positive energy throughout the video. :)
Watching your videos inspire me to work even harder to become a teacher❤️
I became a teacher last school year (pandemic year) and I enjoyed it, being with my kids, and I loved watching them grow
That is awesome my man. Did you change careers or did you come out of college a teacher?
@@elliott2513 i changed careers. I tried accounting and took on 5 gigs and none of them worked out. I prayed about it (not to make this about religion) and asked God to show me his will. I said that prayer on a Saturday and got fired Monday afternoon lol. I then tried teaching and realized I was where I needed to be.
@@cameronmcfarrin4587 I am glad you found your calling! Gives me faith. Thanks for sharing and continued good luck to you!
Ps- Did you just go back to school or did you work and go back to school?
@@elliott2513 Well he did say he tried teaching before that, so probably work
Are you enjoying it still man? I’m a 25 year old black male who is trying to find his calling in life man and I’ve been told that I will make a great teacher but im kinda nervous due to seeing so many negative videos on RUclips on why teachers quitting. Get back with me when you can man. Also what grade you’re teaching?
Thank you for your videos Maya, they are very useful.
I appreciate you sharing this video. I applaud you for being a heroine for our students.
Thanks for posting this! I'm trying to decide if I want to do a career change. My state has a certification program for working adults to become a teacher so I've been thinking about becoming a teacher.
i’m 17 and trying to figure out what to do with my life and i love kids but i wasn’t sure if i wanted to go back to school to teach yk but watching this made me realize maybe i do want to teach
Bro im in the exact same situation also a teachers salary in netherlands is about 58k$ which is also good bht idk am kinda afraid that the kids wont accept me
@@unkown7384what did you do
thank you so much for theses videos
I really want to become a teacher but I'm shy and I worry too much about myself.
Thank you for this! I took notes for my education class and noticed you only have 9 points here. There was not an 8th point, but nevertheless, you were great! Thank you again!
To reduce the turnover rate in this profession remember: 1st, depending on your subject matter, on my 4 page job description contract, there was one sentence about teaching the subject matter. 2nd: many districts have additional expectations. 3rd: campus admin. has more expectations and 4th : when parent expectations differ at all, don't expect support from any of the above when your employment is threatened.
This is so helpful for everything
Currently considering switching from a wildlife ecology and conservation degree to a middle school education degree with a concentration in science
Goodluck to all of the future teachers
this was so helpful thank you smmm
Great Video!
I'm going to be a freshman this year and I already think about my job
Wow, that’s awesome. I wish I was doing that.
Same!!
im not goal driven, but ive always wanted to be goal driven, i just lack commitment
I'm 15 and I have always wanted to be a teacher for special needs kids so thx this helped a lot
Love your channel💞
Thank you love! :)
I think myself being a camp counselor, I spend 80 hours with these kids in the hot sun and get worried that when I'm a teacher I'll be the same amount annoyed. I need to remember I'll be in a controlled environment to have fun and use my personality to teach these kids in a funky and awesome way that they'll enjoy.
Hi Maya! New subscriber here! Would you be able to make a video about how you’ve learned to be clear and concise? I typically take “the long way” to explain something. Thank you so much!
1. Depends on the goal, but for the most part yes
2. I am organized in most aspects. I am definitely able to organize my day and I can definitely organize in a way that I don't lose things
3. Yes! Solid yes!
4. Yes, I could do that. I do love children and I would be comfortable doing that.
5. This bothers me a lot, BUT I can keep it in perspective when it comes down to it (I do this at my job now)
6. I have definitely been told I can do this by a bunch of people even though I feel the least confident in this.
7. I do!
8. Yes!
9. I am definitely flexible
10. I honestly have more patience for children than adults, but I'm capable of keeping face when I have to
So yes! This quiz was helpful and I did very well on it!
I love ur speaking skill and your voice I'm new here but really impressed me anyway here is a new subscriber
Im watching this 2 years later talking about 10k subs. Congrats
You are so honest and real and that's what I love about you! I recently had a teaching interview and looked back at one of your videos for help. Thank you!!
We are almost at 10K! Yesss😊

Should I become a teacher??
Roy K sure why not
Yeah! Btw how old are you? I am 11 and I am thinking of being a teacher!
Tessa am 13 and I am thinking about being a history teacher
Armann Brar cool! I’m gonna be a elementary art teacher
Tessa nice
My only fear with being a teacher is dealing with crazy parents
I consider myself a very direct person when I am comfortable with them, so I feel like halfway throughout the semester I may say some stuff that some may take offense to... Even more so to parents, didn't think about that one
That's my fear too
I would like some advice. I am very good at English/language arts/writing and have enough college credits to become a high school teacher in that subject. However, I am a bit afraid of older kids and don't feel super excited about it. It's what I wanted to do in high school, but I also know I love kids and elementary makes me feel excited. But I am not good at math at all. So, I feel like I can't do it. Do you have advice for this situation?
If you don't feel comfortable working with older kids, don't do it. Don't worry about teaching math. However, you should express that with admin when you interview for a school. I'm sure if you ask for support in that subject, they will be willing to help. Good luck!
Awesome vid:)
You're an amazing woman.
Berkeclor92 you are so kind!
The only reason I don't want to become a teacher is becuase I get heavily emotionally attached and I know for a fact that each year when I have to say goodbye to my class, I will cry
I have such a hard time clearly explaining something lol I HAVE to work on it 😂
It takes practice!! :)
Lmao same
Maya I loas a fifth-year teacher I love to hear why people decide to get into teaching and I just started and inspiring teachers podcast so if you or any of your friends are interested in being a guest please get in touch with me I love to support teachers in the encouragement of those who want to better the future
I'm looking at teaching as a second career. High school maths and physics.
I wantsd to become a teacher when i was younger, given the environment now a days, I AM SO GLAD I DIDNT!
I love teaching, in fact I can't see myself doing anything but teaching.
Hell yeah.
Been in the teaching field for about 3 years! It’s rewarding for sure! So many benefits! But I’ve come to realize it’s only in my heart and not in life. I’d like to come home and not think about work. Also to not de stress from the kids :/ sadly. But if you can handle the bad more than the good, go for it! ☺️ The parents and kids become your 2nd family!
Maya........................................
10k...................
YES YES YES YES!!!!! YAYYYYYYY!!! CONGRATS CONGRATS!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!! (Sorry for being crazy excited but I was just so happy for you :))
thank you so much. im planning to be a teacher but I'm still not sure bcs the salary for teachers in my country is lower than other jobs. I've also heard that in my country, people would not become a teacher not because they don't like to teach but bcs the salary is low.
Great video, thanks for creating. My only critique is you talk a little fast/ edited some bits too closely together which made it hard to follow. Other than great content, thank you!

I guess you don’t like her intro of trying to be cute
What if I got graduated with a major which is all about teaching and becoming a people person but I had no choice but to finish it because of my parents decision not to let me drop out, despite the fact that I prefer working in a quiet enviroment on my own focusing on my work and not giving a d*mn **** about people's children that can't behave even for 20 seconds straight??? What should I do? I've been trying to get a job in a different area but can't find a real opportunity, employers never understand my circumstances (it's been 3 tortuous years and I'm still unemployed), I'm loosing my sanity. Please somebody let me know, what would you do?

2. OH YES
3. yes
4. yes

Thanks for video. How I find my Training providers in UCAS application for School Direct PGCE?
I’m looking into teaching for special education I don’t want to teach regular students I want to get credentialed in special education
Becoming a teacher sounds great, but you can work hard as a welder and make six figures. You can also probably make a pretty penny as a technical school teacher! Technical school instructors are overlooked, everyone wants to go the traditional route with teaching.
Is math mandatory to become an English teacher in uni?? For elementary Ed. I’m super excited but nervous about any maths
I want to become a teacher!
That’s me
Same what type
You are the best thing since sliced bread
I want to be a school counselor
Yikes! I am excellent with children (work at a summer camp) but realized i pretty much do not fit with much of the points that you covered. Sheesh
What grade to you teach and where?
I need help. I was wondering if it is worth becoming a high school teacher or should I go into radiology technician or physical therapy or nursing.
I love teaching high school
I’m in the same boat
Same boat. Considering changing careers to teaching high school math and physics.
Literally meeeee
In which subject basically you are specialized. could i get to know about it?

Im considering being a teacher (highschooler who's introverted) and I barely said yes to any of this lol.
This is making me very doubtful.

I am in fourth grade but I still answered yes to most of them (except for the third one)
