I second that 💕
When you go into an interview, remember: you have nothing to prove, only to share 💛
Yes yes yes
@@fivefootoneteacher I want to say it was Sierra Boggess who I first heard that quote from, I'm not sure if she said it originally
I'd love to see a video on some teacher interview outfit ideas! I think it would be so fun to see how to dress professionally while still incorporating some fun colors or patterns to show your personality.
For sure!!!
Last year, I commented on one of Brittany’s videos and said that I had interviewed at a small private school. Y’all were all so nice! But I didn’t get the job. Or ANY teaching job last year. It was ROUGH. BUT, I decided to try again this year with a different school and district. Well, this week, I interviewed with another school. And I got the job! I will be teaching fifth grade in the fall! I’m so excited and would love your prayers, guys!
Z S thank you SO much!
AH CONGRATS!!!!!!!! 💛💛💛
Five Foot One Teacher thank you!
The floral top, gold earrings, glowy skin, and hair pulled back...WOW! You look stunning 💛
Wowowowow you’re the best
I am fourteen years old and I have decided I really want to be an English teacher! This video really helped me, since not a lot of people are honest about life as a teacher. Thank you for uploading this!!
WE WANT ALL THE CONTENT! Teaching prep, your mindset for going into a classroom, how to get kids engaged, your ideas for lessons! Everything everything! I’d watch everything and anything you post at this point 😂
Yay!
Brit, I absolutely love your energy! You’re exactly what I think a teacher should be, today at this very moment I’m getting my bachelors degree in Deaf Studies and I was just accepted to the university of Arizona in special education, visual impairment. I’m going to be a teacher of the visually impaired! And specialize in Deafblindness! Thank you for staying so bright and cheery!
aww thanks means so much! and that is AMAZING!!
That's awesome! I am a behavior special education teacher and I absolutely love my job! Special Education is such an important job!
Hi everyone, I wrote down some notes that I thought someone else might benefit from looking at too! I am an incoming senior in college about to start my student teaching at the University of Illinois. Thank you Brittany for all you do!

So excited!
I've been a teaching assistant for over thirty years and am currently in my second year of college to become an elementary school teacher. I love following your page. Your ideas and advice are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your teaching portfolio. It gives me an idea of what I need to create!!
wow, you're amazing!
I’m so excited to hear about your career journey, as someone who’s almost about to enter the real world it’s quite nerve-racking!! I hope you’re doing well 💜
thank you so much!! you've got this
Five Foot One Teacher you’re very welcome!! thanks so much, I’ll give it all I got 😇
A huge inspiration ✨
love you!
I'm thinking about becoming an English teacher and I'm still in high school so I often question my choice. You're such an inspiration and everytime I watch something of yours, I'm once again reassured that I really want this. So thank you and I wish you all the best💛💛
Aww excited for you, thank you!
Making a mental note to rewatch this video in 2 years when I graduate from college! You are so helpful!💛
So sweet!
As someone going into my BA program for teaching thank you! Being able to see an interview experience, portfolio and such really helps me feel more prepared.
ahhh excited for you!!!
I have been watching you for quite awhile now, since before I student taught! I am now wrapping up on my first year of teaching...which ended up being pretty crazy and unexpected (nothing like I imagined my first year) with COVID-19. I teach 9-12 High School English. I have a feeling someday I'll be in middle school, as well, but for now, I feel my calling is with my current of students. It's so, so amazing to see you back in education again! You have overcome so much and are so so strong. I'm so happy for you. 💕
I’m sure it has been such a weird time. So excited for your journey!! You’re amazing
YAS!!! Loved this! I feel like the question of "why do you want to be a teacher" is SO underrated. Like, the why is so important. That's the first question I would ask a candidate if I was an administrator! Thank you for shining your light on us as always ❤🤗
Right!!! Usually the first question!!! Love you!
Your why is everything!!!
I’m an elementary education major and my passion is what motivates me. I love putting all of me into my teaching. Classroom transformations is a key to my teaching style and I love putting smiles on my student’s faces. My passion and my purpose is to serve my students and create a place for them to be safe and loved.
Love that!
I have my first virtual interview this Monday for an Elementary teaching position! I will be watching you all day as motivation/preparation lol 💛
My dream school and I sent up my first interview with an hours notice, and I got the job during the first interview. Just show up being yourself. They don’t need a robot with perfect make up and the perfect portfolio, they need people who can be passionate about their students ❤️
Amen!
So excited for you!
When will you start showing us how you’re gonna decorate/set up? I’m a first year and need allllll the inspo!!
Congrats! That’s not really a priority right now as we don’t even know if we will be starting virtual or not, but once I know, I’ll update you!
I could watch her videos in quarantine all day long ☺️.
Thanks!!!
You’re such a joy! The students are so lucky to have you as their teacher! Thank you for these tips!
aww thank you!!!
I adore your videos! I'm on the journey to become a barrister (or at least try to be) your energy always encourages me to continue! You saw your goal and you went for it, despite going through so much you're here telling us your tips and advice. You're an inspiration, much Respect ♥️
aww that is so exciting! best of luck!
@@fivefootoneteacher thankyou so much xx
every video you post feels like a hug 💛
I'm really looking forward for your next updates while teaching. I'm so proud of you. Thankyou again for inspiring us! 💛
Thank you!!
Congrats Brittany! I just graduated in the spring with bachelors degree for becoming a teacher! I'm now starting my masters so I can get my teaching license and teach preK-3!!
Thank you so much for this. I am going into student teaching next semester and I've been so nervous about the future and what school will best fit me as a person and an educator. You are very inspiring and admirable. I needed this boost of confidence and energy.
Of course! Best of luck with student teaching. You will be amazing!
Just graduated three days ago and this video is everything I needed. SO nervous about getting a job in this economy/if my first year of teaching will be digital.. but this video helped me feel less anxious. THANK YOU BRITT
You've got this. Day by day!
Your earrings are so cute! This video was incredibly helpful and I loved hearing a little bit of your WHY. Your students are blessed to have such an incredible teacher! ✨
thank you so much! If I can find them (they are old) I will link them!
Omg I'm going to be a college freshman next year and I'm majoring in elementary education!! I'm so excited and I loved watching ur videos i hope to be a teacher like u!! Thanks so much for this video and I can't wait to see more teacher videos!!!!
That’s so exciting!!!

thank you so much! and sure!
You seem so genuinely happy lately and it makes me so happy
Thank you 😭😭😭
Brit, you are GLOWING. I've followed you throughout your entire RUclips journey and you are just so inspiring! You have inspired me to take care of myself and you have taught me how to practice self-care like I deserve for myself. This video was so beautifully done. You look happy, you look beautiful and everything else in between. This video provided me with great information for me as a future educator to know about! Thank you for everything that you do! You're amazing. 💕
aww thank you so much for the kind words!
I absolutely love watching your videos as I learn SO MUCH about the American School system !!! I should have sat my teaching exam on the 27th March but because of lockdown, the exam of my life has been postponed... and I still don't have a DATE!!!! So I've been reviewing the same things OVER AND OVER for 10 months and I cannot help but lose my motivation day by day... If I pass my exam then I'll be an English teacher in September and being in the blur is so hard... I'll be a French English Teacher, so I have quite the responsibility Ahah I'll do my best to inspire my students and give them my huge passion for this language, culture, literature!! I really love your videos as they remind me why I'm doing this so THANK YOU!!! and I wish you all the best for this new start in your life xx
You’re amazing and I can imagine how hard that must be. I hope you can take it soon and begin your journey!
@@fivefootoneteacher Thank you for your kind words!! i really hope I can begin it soon as well!!! take care x
You bring SO much positivity into the world! I don’t really have anything interesting to write, but today has been a good day and I’m grateful for that!! Sending you lots of love💛🌻
aw thanks Alex! glad you're having a good day!
I’m not going into teaching or anything near it lol hopefully corrections and then onto a PhD in clinical psychology but honestly your speech about how you’ll find the place where you belong by being you made me so much less anxious about the future. Even during these anxiety ridden times
So glad that spoke to you 🤍
I say it all the time, but you’re such a gem ❤️ shining so bright and inspiring me to be everything I want! Thank you😊
It means so much. Thank you so much!
I love to see how you're back to yourself and got a new job. So happy for you!
I loved this video! It gave so many good information! I am so excited for you to be a teacher again! I am a Texas college senior, and will be student teaching this fall!!! You have given me so many tips, inspiration and advice for teaching
aww thank you!! that is so exciting for you!!
Five Foot One Teacher ahhh!!! I can’t believe you commented back 😭😍 I am so excited to student teach but yet so nervous because of these uncertain times, but I know however I Student teach, it will be a learning experience. Thank you for making so many great videos, I’ve been watching you since almost the beginning and you’ve given me hope that I am unbreakable and that everything will work out ❤️
Yes show what you’re planning for next year!! I’m a first year teacher and would love some ideas!!
I would definitely enjoy and appreciate you taking us along with the planning stages. It’s always great to see how someone else does it! Helps spark new ideas!
For sure!
I am currently studying to be a Special Education teacher, and every time your videos pop up it makes my heart full of joy because they remind me of why I chose this career! You inspire me more than you can know and I hope I can be as amazing of an educator as you are one day :)
that is amazing!
I think when I first came across your channel and subscribed you only had 20k subscribers! I’ve always loved your videos and I’m so happy for you , I’m sure you’re so excited to get back in the class room!
Wow thank you for being here!!!
I love hearing about your journey as a teacher and I hope you’ll be happy in this new chapter of your life 🧡 I’m a senior in high school (in France) and in 3 days I’ll get the results to my college applications and I’m hesitating so much on what to do, I would love to be an English teacher, I have so many ideas of projects and lessons I could teach but I doubt myself so much and I don’t know if I can make it... but every time I watch your videos you inspire me so much, you look like an awesome educator and person ✨ (ps, sorry if I made any mistakes, I’m still learning English 😌)
France! That’s amazing!!!!!!! It is completely normal to want to doubt yourself, but know that you can get through this. I believe in you!
Five Foot One Teacher thank you so much for your answer ! You made my day 🧡
This is so helpful!!! I am a Senior in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at AZ State, and I'm getting ready for my final year before I have my own class! I've been watching your videos for so long, and I am so happy to hear you are teaching again. You are such an inspiration for all us educators, and even those who aren't! Best of luck to you Brit
Ahhh I’m so glad it was helpful have the best final year!
Wow! this was so helpful!!! thanks :) u def should post more school related things like planning and getting ready for the new school yr its so exciting!
Of course!
Thank you for this! I love love love your personality! 💛 (new subscriber!)
As a college student nearing some placements this coming school year, I am so excited to you are always helping us baby teachers. Keep sharing your experiences because they are super helpful. I want to teach English so anything you post is such inspo. You mentioned about how to lesson planning for new books this summer and I think it is such a cool idea!
Ah thank you!!
You are such an inspiration!!! I’ve always wanted to be an English teacher but I’ve always told myself I can’t do it. I’m afraid I’m too quiet and timid for it but I just love English and want to teach so badly! I’m hoping I can overcome that fear.
Thank you so much! It’s going to be quiet! You don’t have to be loud to be a teacher!
Can’t wait for more videos! 💛
I started watching you when I started tutoring. It was the fall of 2018, and I was recovering from concussions I had back in the spring. I had daily migraines and this channel encouraged me to keep working, keep tutoring, and keep loving the students I was blessed with. I had absolutely no idea that I would ever go into education -- I still wanted to be a dietitian.
Fast forward to today, I've recently graduated with my AA and I'm soon to take the GKT in order to learn how to best teach others.
I used to be known for trying something, burning out on it, and hating it for a while because I wasn't "good enough." I obsessed over health, art, music, and sports. I burned out on each one.
I have devoted about 40 hours per week (20 hours on my off-semesters) to tutoring, and the Spanish language in general (my ideal class to teach is Spanish 1-2). This is one thing that keeps me happy, pumped, and excited for my future no matter how hard I had to work. And, it's one thing that God has directed me to pursue, every time I've doubted.
:) thanks for inspiring and encouraging me♡♡♡
Thank you for sharing this. You’re such a beautiful example of strength!
LITERALLY I’m getting dressed for the day and I thought “wow she is so beautiful! Ima make a little outfit like that!” And I started picking clothes based off of what you were wearing. And then you talked about how you don’t normally wear stuff like that and it required more confidence, ahh it’s just so amazing to see you grow in confidence and to be going back to teaching! You are such a beautiful and inspiring person! I’m so thankful for you and how you’ve touched so many people’s lives! I’m praying for you💕💕💕😊
Aww thank you. Means so much!
I cannot get enough of this channel! I can’t wait to get my degree and hope to be even half the teacher you are!❤️
YES WE WANT TO SEE IT ALL! ugh i love you britt! thank you for being YOU ♡
Yay! Thank you!
This was so helpful! I am so happy that you are getting back in the classroom. I am currently in the midst of taking test for my teachers credentials and I am scareddddd! Your videos have been such a comfort for me these past couple years!
Oh trust me... I was the same way. Just know you’re worth so much more than that test. You will pass and overcome it!
Seriously wish I could’ve had you as a teacher! Your energy is so motivating and inspiring
Aww thank you! Means a lot!
I think it’s funny how you mentioned at the end that you don’t normally wear tank tops & the whole video I was thinking about how cute you looked with those little ties on the strap!💗 thank you for some awesome teacher tips 🤗
Hehe thank you!
I am so excited to see the next step in your teaching journey, Britt! You are going to be awesome! Being a middle school ELA teacher myself, it is so rewarding. Thank you for this video! 💛 Much love!
aww thank you, so excited!
I am so happy you’re switching to middle school! I am almost done with school to teach ELA at the middle school level & there aren’t a ton of middle school ELA teacher you tubers(the few on here are great though!!). You’re such an inspiration!!! I hope this is everything you want it to be 💛
Thank you so so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I recently graduated and started my job hunt for my first teaching job. Thankful for the helpful tips and to hear from an experienced teacher! :)
Excited for you!
Yes, we would like to go along with you on the rest of your journey ( what you're reading, planning and buying etc)💛💛💛💛💛
yay!
Thank you for this! I just got offered a middle school job in 6th teaching ELA/SS. At my school now I will be a 5th grade teacher next school year. This decision is super tough for me, but I love hearing about your transition to middle school! You’ll be amazing anywhere!
That’s so exciting! Best of luck to you!
Definitely going to have to set a reminder for myself to watch this video again in a years time when I’ll be finishing my teaching degree! All your tips are so helpful ☺️
Aww excited for you!
I love this video!! I’d love to see it all-books, plans, ideas, etc. I saw another comment that said interview outfits which I loved! Very excited for you!
Got it 💛💛💛💛
When I first clicked on your video I thought, “She looks so cute!” It’s wild how we have certain ideas about our “flaws” that other people never notice or think twice about. You’re stunning! I get so excited to watch your videos because you’re pretty inspirational! I would love to see the process of you getting back into the classroom; new school clothes, back to school hauls, what you’re planning for the first week, ALL THE THINGS!! I teach 6th grade ELA and I’m so ecstatic that you’re teaching middle school ELA too! 💛
you're so sweet and that is so true!! and yes you will see ALL THE THINGS!!
Ms. Brittany, I have built strong relationships with all of my teachers. Today, my school lost one of its teachers. I was upset and your video reliably uplifted me. This is my first time dealing with the death of a teacher and I will always remember the wonderful moments we had together. She was not my teacher. However, she was a constant support for me. She taught at our school for over fifteen years. I want to be a teacher so that I can inspire students to achieve their dreams. My English teacher is teaching us virtually and her lessons are still as engaging as they were in the classroom. It is my dream to become an author and I endeavor to spread the love of reading and writing with my future students. One of the things I have learned from my teachers is to follow my intuition. I recently wrote a short story, The Tree of Exposure and a poem, The Age of Hearts. In eighth grade English, we have read the novels, Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan, The Pearl by John Steinbeck, The Outsiders by SE Hinton, Night by Elie Wiesel, and The Giver by Lois Lowry. We read the short stories, The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, The Girl in the Lavender Dress by Maureen Scott, Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl, The Landlady by Roald Dahl, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin, The Monkey’s Paw by WW Jacobs, A Retrieved Reformation by O. Henry, The Lie by Kurt Vonnegut, The Open Window by Saki, The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant, and The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. During the month of March, we read two poems everyday. I am so excited to read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare in ninth. I absolutely love my middle school. I hope you have an amazing teaching year ahead. I love you
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that must be hard. I am thinking of you and everyone at your school and I am so happy that you have good memories to remember her by.
Five Foot One Teacher
Thank you so much for understanding. Fortunately, memories last forever.
You posted this at a perfect time! I am spending today getting ready for my first teacher interview on Monday! Thank you!!❤️❤️
Aww best of luck!
I love your channel and teaching videos. I just recently ended my 2nd year of college, and my major is early childhood education. I hope to be a preschool teacher. I aspire to be as positive as you are and as passionate as you are with the children that you teach. I would’ve loved to have you as my teacher when I was in middle school/high school! I also think you’d make a great elementary school teacher... Any grade level is lucky to have your caring personality. So happy for you ❤️
Congratulations on your second year, that is amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Can we have an updated makeup routine? 🤩 you are glowing!
Aw thank you!
Such a cute video! So excited for your journey! 💛
You’re the best!
your skin and makeup looks sooo glowy and beautiful here :)
Thank you!
Hey Brit! I am so thankful for your videos. Especially this one comes at a perfect time. Watching your videos, I always feel like having a chat with you and it kind of calms me. The last few days were especially hard and I was struggling to keep my energy up for my students and to engage with them. Sitting down and listening to you took my thoughts of the subject I was thinking about (which was a video everyone shared on social media including triggering content - in the end this triggered me and I felt like being in a dark place again). But yeah, thanks for this video again and I just wanted to tell you that what you are doing is so incredibly great! All the best 🌻
I’m sending you love, I know that’s hard. I just like to shut down my phone when that happens and try to do something that calms me. I’m happy this video could be here for you!
I’d love to see pre year planning videos!
this video was incredibly helpful, I’ve always been so nervous about interviews for education! thanks so much for this ❤️
this was such a helpful video! your portfolio is amazing and you can really see how passionate you are about teaching. i have two more years until i graduate, but i will make sure that i come back to this video before my interview!
Thank you so much! Excited for you!
Loved this video! When I watched the video where you did the lesson at the middle school I knew that you would become a middle school teacher. I work at a middle school and I love it. Middle schooler can be crazy lol but they truly make me love my job. When I'm down their funny jokes and personalities lift me up! You will be a great middle school teacher.
That means so much! Thank you so much and I’m so glad to hear that you enjoy middle school
You have such a wonderful light about you! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks!
Thank you so much!
You are such an inspiration ❤️ you inspire me to be the best person I can be
thank you so much!!
I'm so happy for you for continuing to follow your dreams! I'm finishing my Bachelor's to go into Middle School ELA teaching, so I'm excited to follow your process to hopefully help me know what to expect! You're an inspiration
Thank you! So excited for you!
Thank you! So excited for you!
I'm not an educator or anything of that sort but this is so interesting to watch! I love watching your videos because it's fun to see the process and effort that goes into becoming a teacher. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Your timing is perfect, I was literally working on my teaching portfolio today :)
that is amazing!
I love when that timing stuff happens =)

I just got my first job as a middle school science teacher! I'm so glad you're making that journey, too! I can't wait for tips and to grow alongside you! Good luck!!
That is so amazing, congratulations!!!

thank you so much! best of luck to you on your journey!
I was having the worst night ever before watching this. Your energy is so amazing. I admire you so much, Britt💛
Aww I’m so sorry. I hope you’re feeling better!
I’m so so happy you’re going back to the classroom! You’re such an inspiration and your videos are so helpful! I just accepted my first teaching job and my mind is going a mile a minute trying to figure out what to do this summer to prepare. Could you possibly do a video on preparing for tour first year or a new school or just any tips on what to collect and have ready for when school starts up?
Thank you so much and yes for sure!
Thank you so much for making this video!!! You answered so many questions I didn’t know I needed answered :)
Yay!
love love love your channel and so proud of your journey! I am a double major in elementary and special education and can not wait to become a teacher!

So excited for you!
