#6 you are NOT their friends! You should be friendly, but you are NOT your students' friend. You are their teacher, and they are your students. Friends rip on each other, they goof off with each other, they hang out, etc. All things teachers should NOT do with their students! You are an authority figure!
Thomas, kids have to face reality, eventually. School may be the first place they learn discipline, and they're going to have to learn it eventually, so why not get it now?
Thomas Ellenwood : nobody said authoritarian, but you have to be respected by your students otherwise your class will be a complete chaos, and nobody even the students themselves will be happy with you. You are not a dictator nor a friend but an EDUCATOR.
@I_was_wrong ask Harry Wong about that. Be friendly, but you are NOT their friend. Friends hang out. Friends connect on social media. Friends text, etc.
Hey Elliott how is your new job going? Also if you don’t mind me asking what are good jobs to take or internships to take for you can land a teaching job after college?
I find not being consistent might be somewhat unavoidable during first-year teaching. I remember when I first started last September, I had my class management plan all set up in my head. What I did not account for was my students. I first tried reflection sheets, which they did not take seriously. Next I tried the three-strike rule, until they figured out they could get away with being disruptive twice before getting in trouble. Detentions worked some of the time, but only if I had a serious conversation with my students to find out the root of the problem. By the end of February, I finally figured out what worked well for me, and planned on sticking to it to the end of the year, until COVID shut down our schools. Do not get discouraged if your class management doesn't work out the first time. You need to figure out what works best for you, so that you CAN be consistent in the future!
Oh man, I cringe to think of the mistakes I made this past year. My biggest problem was definitely consistency with classroom management because I would try something and then see it wasn't working and just up and change it. I was a hot mess! But, the kids learned what they needed to and thought I was the best anyway!😆 These tips are spot on!
Excellent call on the assumptions! That was a big one for me because I taught 4th graders. Surely they can line up correctly because they've been doing it for years, right? Wrong!!!
I'm a 30 year veteran and you hit it out of the ballpark! I would also add that a lot of teachers don't know how to adjust the energy level of their students. If they're climbing the walls, learn how to get them back in their desks. If they're all asleep, learn how to get their attention so they wake up.
Mistake #2: Most new teachers are really forced to be on many committees. It is forced upon them by the principal. Or to volunteer to give inservice presentations. We can't win with the school administration doesn't help a teacher succeed.
Pick a committee that is easy and does not take a lot of work such as volunteering for big events: harvest festival etc...don't meet as much as other committees. Usually only once a month
Thank you for your really good explanations, Kyle. I am male student teacher - starting in three days... It’s really great finding another male teacher’s take on the process. Thanks for the warnings blended with positivity.
I'm a substitute teacher and I was so frustrated at the beginning because students kept sitting down on the floor to do their work. It turned out schools now allow students to do that for comfort. Back in my days this was unthinkable!
I found this list so helpful, especially the tip to plan the lesson around the standard, not the other way around. Pinterest is so overwhelming, it's easy to get sucked into the "cute" lessons and forget the main objective! This new first grade teacher thanks you!
BIG, big thank you for your advice, for you taking time out of your day, your job, your time to relax to help out some comrades, some fellow teachers. Peace and love, brother.
I've just started a new RUclips channel, and even though I've been teaching for forever, I've forgotten some of thos stuff. Thanks big guy. I will be watching.
I think you forgot buying things for the students. I bought them crayons and they broke them within seconds. How do you think I felt? Do you think I will ever buy them crayons again?
Hallo liebe Freunde! Ich mag seine Videos wirklich! Ich teile deine Videos mit deinen Freunden, sie sind sehr aufgeregt und geben dir gefällt und abonniere dich! Danke fürs Teilen! Wir warten auf Ihre neuen Videos interessant und schön! Du bist unglaublich!💐💖☕🍰🍓🍍🪅😊🎉
The number one mistake all new teachers make is becoming a teacher. If you're already past that mistake and you want to shorten your career or make your life at work as miserable as possible, have a better idea than your administrator at a staff meeting.
One, I agree with not doing too much; you have enough to do every year, not just first year. But you lose credibility with your look I'm cool backward hat. Take off your hat in the classroom, you're an adult. Don't be obsessed with standards. Teach valuable skills; problem-solving and collaboration.

I'd hate to be in your class. Being a hardline authoritarian would get you nowhere in my school excepted hated by all students.
how is being friendly = being authoritarian?

I just graduated and I’m in the process of landing my first teaching position. Thanks for the great tips bro!

What was it that finally worked for you?

They say it takes about 6 weeks to see if a strategy for class management works or not
As long as we keep learning from our mistakes, right? Have a geat summer!
Excellent call on the assumptions! That was a big one for me because I taught 4th graders. Surely they can line up correctly because they've been doing it for years, right? Wrong!!!
I learned to not make assumptions the hard way my first year. So many lessons went south because I assumed they knew how to do certain things.

So they come home with their pants dirty...lousy school standards there!
Ive been teaching for over 20 years. Great advice for veterans and newbies.
I'm cringing at myself this year. 😅
If I’ve already made these mistakes, and I’m in week 6. Can my year be salvaged???
I found this list so helpful, especially the tip to plan the lesson around the standard, not the other way around. Pinterest is so overwhelming, it's easy to get sucked into the "cute" lessons and forget the main objective! This new first grade teacher thanks you!

well said
Great tips! Thanks from this new teacher (2017-2018).
Thank you! How exciting to begin your teaching career! Good luck with getting everything setup! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask!
How’d the first year go? I hope you choose to stick it out-it’s a rewarding profession!
Completely agree with this.
I'm definitely doing too much but I got a mortgage to pay. I am a full time 2nd grade teacher and also work 2 (12hour) days on the weekends.
We are making similar videos, back to back. Wow!! Great advice!
I've just started a new RUclips channel, and even though I've been teaching for forever, I've forgotten some of thos stuff. Thanks big guy. I will be watching.
Thank you😊
Do you know what's funny a teacher is teaching another teacher. I honestly just think it's cool
I think I’ve done all of those mistakes this year !!
Maman K me too :(
Don't assume.
When all consistent procedures are not optimal.
Yes! Thank you!!!
Great tips! Thank you!
Noted.. Thanks!! 😅👌
Very helpful video. Keep up the good job. Just subscribed to your channel.
You nailed it!
Both thumbs UP! BELL RUNG!
Doing too much: not me. TOTALLY not me. Going home at the ring of the bell committee. Joking 😜
Lol sounds like a good committee
Thank you for your tips...
Best video ever for teaching. Thanks 🌞
Excellent points- especially about streamlining your lessons. 👍🏼
Kafoople Land 😊
I guess I do pretty well because I only did 1 of these mistakes:doing too much
Super helpful!
These seem....obvious. All great points!!!!
thank you!!!
Consistent - 🌞
I think you forgot buying things for the students. I bought them crayons and they broke them within seconds. How do you think I felt? Do you think I will ever buy them crayons again?
Can you do a video on retirement, pension, the 403b
well it was happy accidents.
Ok but what if it’s March and you’ve done all this... what then? 😭😫
Be loving with yourself OR look for another job. Just kidding. I bet you are the only one as 'we are all our own worst enemy'.
