My third grade teacher gave me advice back in 1992 prior to my first day in my classroom. He said to find something that went well during the day and focus on that and try not to dwell too much on what did not go well during the day. This is year 27 for me, and that is the advice that I give to new teachers. Thank you for your presentation.
So great to hear from a fellow veteran! I am beginning my 24th year of teaching and I am still learning so much! That's one of the best parts about teaching, every year we get new kids, new personalities, new backgrounds, etc. Creates new-ness every year!
I really want to be a teacher when I grow up. I really want to start watching videos really early about this stuff. I am only 11. Thank you for these tips I am just getting more excited to start a teaching career when I am older. If I don’t teach when I am older I am going to be sad.
Same
I'm starting year 31 (!). Thank you! It's true - experienced teachers (including me) fall into a pattern, tiredness, etc. I had your enthusiasm when I started and want to bring that back. When I started I could tell which teachers should just get it over with and retire. I didn't understand how people could wind up like that. Now I do. I'm not there, but want to regain that spirit again. :) Your videos remind me of the attitude I once had had. Time for me to watch YOUR videos and begin anew.
Yes please! PD recommendations would be super helpful. I've got less than a year and a half left til I'm teaching
I am beginning my 24th year of teaching and I am still learning so much! That's one of the best parts about teaching, every year we get new kids, new personalities, new backgrounds, etc. Creates new-ness every year!
I was just hired for my first teaching position. I actually got the grade level I wanted (1st), the principal is amazing, and I am equally nervous and excited. I am so grateful to see and hear your advice and videos! Thank you :D
Thank you so much! I just got hired Wednesday and I'm already feeling overwhelmed
Omg this is so helpful. I'm getting ready to start my first year teaching in a few weeks and I feel super nervous and excited. Thank you for this
Me too! Woo hoo 🙃
@@jamesashford6111 How'd it go?
A H As luck would have it, thanks to Covid-19 I was let go before the new school year. So sadly, it looks like I have to revert back to truck driving probably this entire school year. 😩
This will be my 9th year of teaching and I SO agree with these! I offer this same advice to my new teachers around me. 💜
I’m entering my first year of teaching this fall! I am so nervous, excited, anxious, and scared. Loved this video and your tips. Thank you!!!
I currently work as a after school teacher (k-2) and people always look at me as another daycare worker but it's so not true.
I definitely do lessons planning monthly and each week we do a new topic. This week is "we can do it week" they can build self esteem, do hw on time, be respectful.
A thing I would work on is to stop listening for other teacher's opinions on my class.
This is so perfect. I love your tips. These tips apply to any profession especially the first tip. Do not be afraid to ask questions, it shows that you care!! I cannot wait to share these with my friends who are teachers!! I’ve got a PD book for you: the book is called Lifeline 65. It is written by a good friend of mine and it focus on relationships.
I'll be a first time teacher starting on 24th. 6th grade English language arts. 😁
Thank you for this. I only have three weeks left of my summer. This will be my first year teaching and my anxiety is pumping. Lol it’s always nice to hear encouragement and to be told that it is okay to make mistakes.
I definitely agree about taking one day a week as a no schoolwork day! Another thing that I find helpful is having a cut off time for working in the evenings. Mine is usually 6pm because that's what time we get kicked out of the building and I try not to take work home with me then (sometimes I leave earlier and do stuff from home instead, in which case my cut off time would be later). I think that's such an important rule to make as a new teacher to help you from burning out, and I only break it if things absolutely have to be done by the following day. I also have a bed time that I try to stick to so I get enough sleep!
I've also been teaching about 6 years, and these are great tidbits of advice no matter how long you've been teaching! Thanks!
I start student teaching this fall and hope to start actual teaching next year. I'm so nervous but glad I'm subbed to teacher channels like you 😭 y'all give me hope!
PD vid please! First year teacher here, starting in second grade in the fall and find these videos invaluable!
Im a 17 year old guy and Teaching high school history has been an interest of mine for a while. Starting to prioritize this interest over my others so I’m looking for info on how to connect with students and what to expect. I didn’t have a good high school experience so I feel like that would push me harder to help to build relationships with students rather than just be an authority figure in the room. I’ve always had a desire to be in the position of helping others and I think teaching is my best option. Thanks for the info 🙏🏼
27 years into teaching and I am still pursuing pd opportunities, advice, new ideas, and research information. Thank you for mentioning that and the relationship issue. Every year that is also a priority for me.
omg i needed this!! starting my first year of teaching this august! 💛💛
Best of Luck! 💛
Me too!
Good luck!!!
good luck, i hope your year goes well!
@@kyo3538 good luck!! 💛💛💛💛
I loved the last tip! "because you are at your breaking point" lol This was all too real in my 1st year teaching 4th grade last year. Now I'm in my 2nd year about to teach 3rd grade! I always keep snacks and treats in my classroom.
I'm so nervous about being a first year teacher and your first day helped me feel so much better 😆 hopefully mine won't be like that haha. Love all your videos and everything you create. It motivated me through college and I've saved so many things to help me be a great (hopefully) teacher.
im 18! this is my first year of teaching and it’s so terrifying specially because im starting in the beginning of semester 2! watching as many videos like this as I can
Love this!! First year teacher here! I would love a video on PD! :)
Yes please do a video on professional development!!! I am still in school but want to know as much as possible before starting my first job.
I know this video is old, but it is helpful to me now. Especially your tip of picking one focus area for the school year. I'm feeling like I'm having to improve EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW and it's feeling really overwhelming. I will have to ponder and choose the specific thing...
I’m heading into my 18th year and you really hit the nail on the head! I had to learn to ask questions and figure out balance. What works one year may not work the next. Great video. . .a MUST WATCH for everyone! 🙂
I'm loving your videos. This will be my first year teaching 1st grade in a public school. I'm trying to see what I'm going to need and try to get a head start before I actually start. Your videos are helping me plan. Thank you so much.
I am beginning my 24th year of teaching and I am still learning so much! That's one of the best parts about teaching, every year we get new kids, new personalities, new backgrounds, etc. Creates new-ness every year!
You’re amazing and I know you’re going to be my savior during my first year!!
Great idea about the non-negotiables! Agree with you about politeness and keeping chair stable especially
I start my first day of teaching tomorrow and my anxiety is so bad right now. Unfortunately my student teaching was virtual so I feel like my kinders are gonna drive me wild. Thanks for this I'm hoping all goes well
I have watched this video 3 times before but this is my first time watching after just accepting a teaching position!!
I'm a junior in high school with his heart set on teaching. Your channel has given me a confidence boost in what I want to do. Thank you for all the hard work you put into both your channel and your students!
Yay!! I have just graduated from uni and getting into my classroom this August
Hello! Thanks for all the tips for teachers! I am so excited to finally reach 4th grade I have been watching you since I was in 2nd grade because I loved getting a perspective of teachers and having appreciation for them hope you enjoy this year of teaching! -your 2 year fan, Gabriela
13 years teaching and this is the best advice I’ve ever heard. I will be sharing this with any new teachers I work with.
I am currently a student at college getting my degree in English Teaching, it is reassuring to see that there are videos out here for new teachers. I'll rewatch in a few years when I actually start teaching!
Exactly the video I needed rn 🙌🏻 sophomore year of college so I’m not super close to my first year of teaching but I absolutely can’t wait!!
Brittany Shields i germ you girl! I’m a junior. I can’t wait.
I just applied to a school for being an art teacher for k-4 grade, I hope and pray every night for the school to call me back, but your videos are helping me so much. SUPER EXCITED!! I can't wait to change the education of the kiddos forever!
I start teaching 2nd grade in August! Also in MD! I'm kinda terrified, but your videos help A LOT!
Great work! I remember my NQT and wish I'd seen more stuff like this. I also made a video about my mistakes during NQT year and things I wish I'd known
How on earth do you find the time and energy to do the things you do for school, balance your personal life, and not go insane or be exhausted????
I have been teaching 20 years and haven't found balance - how do you maintain your stamina? How do you fit everything in without turning your boyfriend/sweetie into a "teacher's widower"?
In my first year right now, teaching ESL and math abroad to 1st-4th grade. Can't thank you enough for this video!!! Seriously lifted a weight off my shoulders to hear someone say exactly the things I needed to hear. :)
Man, I've started a RUclips channel and even though I've been teaching for so long, I've forgotten some of this stuff. This is awesome! I'll keep watching.
I'm starting my first year of teaching this August, in 2nd grade math and science! I'm so excited and nervous! 😣
iluvpanda14 good luck! 😊
Best of luck!!
Thanks y'all! 😊
This is really a big help~ I watched your vids since when I am still in 4th year college. Now I am in my first year of teaching, I still watch your vids.
I'm starting my first year teaching in less than a month! 4th grade!! :D
Tiffany G 4th grade is my favorite.
Lucky! I’m still a junior in college. It’s so close yet so far 😩 how did you deal at this point?
I start my first year teaching in August!
Congratulations!!
Hi Michelle, I am a rising high school senior and I love all your videos. I just started watching about 2 weeks ago and I have been watching all your videos ever since . Your videos sealed the deal for me because now I know teaching is something I love and want to pursue when I graduate high school. Thank you for all your amazing videos
going into my 2nd year of teaching first grade and I find this video helpful!
I'd love to hear about your PD recommendations, and conferences you've been to that you'd highly recommend.
I love your last tip. I'm actually putting a "stress relief" drawer in my teacher tool-box that will house candy for me.
First year teacher here. Thank you for this wonderful advice!
Lol, love the last tip on having treats on hand! If I’m having one of those days, I end up eating candy out of the candy jar, but I need to learn to buy myself a treat and put it in my draw just for me!
Yes!! PD recommendations please!! Gr8 video!! Sooo appreciate u!!
I got my dream job last week and start as a teaching assistant in a primary school at the end of August😁 your videos get me so excited to start my new career!
Thank you for this video I just graduated from high school and want to be a teacher and this advice was pretty helpful
Awesome tips!!! So true about avoiding the negativity. Personally I have trouble when teachers complain about my past students ... I take it pretty personally. I had to learn that avoidance works best for me.
Yes please PD recommendations
Hey Michelle,
Great video, thank you! Would love a video on different professional development that you’ve done!
I have binge watched your channel over the last few months now since I got accepted onto my teacher training course for September 2019. I cried when Billy proposed and I have laughed more as you became more confident in yourself. This video was another fab video and it just gets me so excited to start my new career. I am based in the UK and my teaching career is starting late (I'll be 30 in sept) and I simply can't thank you enough for these videos!!! I am sure I will use each and every one of your tips from this video and the many others you have posted too 😊. Thank you Michelle 😍
A PD video would be great!!! I start my student teaching this fall
Negativity in the work place was the most demoralising thing in my first year of teaching. Starting my second year tomorrow, I'wll make sure this will not happen :)
I’m going into my 3rd year teaching and 1st year in self contained! I would loooove if you did a video about your self contained experiences and any tips you have for a self contained classroom (organization, routines, etc) and teacher! 💕💕
This is really helpful! I'm a junior in high school and this is so helpful to hear, hearing someone who went through that can help me to know what to expect ❤. I honestly can't wait until I start teaching years from now 💛
This is my 9th year teaching and I love your advice!! My favorite pieces of advice are focusing on one thing to improve each year (and each summer), and building those relationships!!!
These videos are always so helpful and inspiring to me! I'm so excited to start teaching music this fall (In Maryland too!)
I totally agree. She brings so much inspiration and positivity to my day 🥰
Yes please!! I’d love to see more about different PDs. Thank you so much for making this video Michelle, I find all this advice so helpful as a new teacher! You’re amazing 😀❤️
Thank you beautiful teacher 🌺
YESSS MICHELLLE!!! This is what I needed! I'll be a first year teacher in like two weeks. I'm teaching fifth self contained!!! I've been following you since the beginning! We're gonna make it!
Honestly thank God for your videos. I’m going into my junior year of college and you keep me excited about what’s to come for a career in teaching! Thanks for making videos like this, it definitely helps to ease anxiety.
I’m going to be a 3rd year teacher this year and a second year 2nd grade teacher. Even so, these tips were still very helpful! As a teacher we’re always learning and wanting to improve, so I’d love information on PD opportunities! As always, awesome video! Thank you!!!!
I NEED THIS FOR MY FUTURE SELF!!!!
This was really helpful! I’m starting student teaching this Fall, high school American Sign Language 🤟🏻 Thanks for the tips!!
I'd love a video on PDs! Especially books because there is so much material out there and it's hard to figure out what is actually worth your time!
I would love more information on PD you have used and loved
Thank you for another great video, Michelle🥳🥳 Fingers crossed 🤞 I get hired soon!!
Christine Rush I’m in the same boat - still applying and going through interview after interview! Good luck and hope you get your dream job!
Thank you Emilee!! I am hoping you find your dream job too!! Best of luck!!
These are great tips! I'm starting my 6th year of teaching and I learn so much every year! I'd love a vlog about professional development resources!
Thank you! This video was helpful to me as someone going into year 2. My first year TERRIBLE and this video would have given me some peace of mind! Remember: Don't do all the things :)
Great advice! If only college got is ready for that tricky first day of school.
I loved this! I wish I had seen it last summer before my first year of teaching. I will try to remember all the points as I am teaching in a new grade level-- the first year in 3rd grade moving to pre-k. I will keep watching your vlogs despite the differences in our students' ages! I am addicted!
I’m LISTENING 👂
Yes please create a video on PD recommendations! I am about to start my 2nd year of teaching and I still remember watching your old video from last year for new teacher advice. Keep creating great content, you are influencing so many current and future teachers! :)
im going into my first year of college to study chemistry and education so i can teach!! your videos and general personality make me so much more excited to teach in a few years. thank you for being a great resource for new teachers and im sure experienced teachers as well ❤️
Applicable advice and tips for novice K-12 teachers (I'm saying this as a high school teacher)! Thanks for sharing.
Yes yes yes to teacher PD!!! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this...I will get my treatss
I needed this video two years ago! I needed this video last year! I am so glad I have this video this year! You’re advice is relevant for any teacher, no matter if they are new or not! It is so helpful to know that each teacher will face these challenges and that it’s NORMAL! Thank you for sharing your advice for those who really want to try their best at being a teacher!
I’m a recent graduate with about half of a year of substitute experience. I’ve been applying like crazy for elementary positions, but the common response I’m getting after is “we adored you and your personality, but we chose another applicant because they have tons of experience.”
How can I get hired when I have little experience when I must be hired to EARN experience? 😂🤔
Anybody else ever had this issue?
This is super difficult and I have been there as well. In your interviews, I would stress your passion as much as possible (new teachers tend to be SUPER energized and passionate which is an asset) and discuss ways you are already trying to improve your practice (completing webinars, reading PD books, etc.). This will show them that despite your lack of experience, you are trying to grow and learn as much as you can which is the type of teacher they should want at their school!
Thank you so much for that advice! I will definitely use those tips!!
My first day starts tomorrow, I have my own classroom and I’ll be teaching grade 8!
Every week I look forward to a fun and awesome video and Michelle has yet to fail to come up with a video that is not fun and awesome!! I’ve really been intrigued by all of these inspiring and fantastic videos! I’m going to come back to these in the future because I can 100% guarantee that I will struggle at first but I know I will get better😂😂❤️❤️
Michelle, as a new teacher, I really appreciate all of you efforts in helping your fellow teachers with tips ans tricks. Thank you for that! Today is world emoji day and I heard on the news that apple added a sloth emoji....it must be just for you! 😉
I’m not even a teacher (still in high school) but I can’t stop watching your videos lol
I would love a PD video please. I wish I had this my first year. I'm going to be in year five this year-third year in the district, second year in the building. I still feel like I need some PD.
I'm going into my 4th year of teaching. These tips are always helpful! Thank you!
I've been following you for a year now and have been accepted into my teaching degree. I am so excited and cannot wait 😊🥰 I love your advice and would love to see a video on PD and Classroom management 😊
Amen on tip #10! If you're lucky, one of your teammates brought donuts for everyone.
Yes yes yes! Please make a PD recommendations video!!
I am going into my 4th year of teaching and this video was still so applicable. I needed these reminders!
Great info. Thank you so much
I would love PD recommendations!!
Honestly this is such a needed video for me!! 😂 I’m a first year student and my first class is literally 2 years away 🥳 and I think I’ll hold onto these tidbits for placement and my career 😊
