I am also entering my 5th year of teaching! One of my professors in college gave us a shoebox that she called the "Smile File," and every time I get a note from a student/parent/administrator, I put it in the box. It's perfect for rough days, when you're feeling unappreciated, I just pull out the box and read all of the notes :) Also, my first year of teaching I really had to learn how to "not take work home with me." It was very stressful on my personal life and my well-being to come home every day with all of my stresses from work. Yoga, not hooking up my school email to my phone, having a trustworthy friend in the building to vent to (not my spouse), were all helpful ways to learn how to stop taking my baggage home with me.
Kids need to be taught gratitude. I had a teacher when I was in intermediate who really emphasized being appreciative of the knowledge we were getting, and appreciative of the people who guide us (parents, teachers, etc...) and I have carried her words with me until now. I'm only a substitute at the moment but hopefully, when I am a teacher I can instill the same thing in my own students.
I'm still a baby teacher, will be entering my 3rd year this fall, and your advice was SPOT ON... especially regarding "giving without expectations." Give when you can. Don't give when you can't then be resentful. Thanks for this much needed boost
I'm an INFJ. My weakness is that I'm kind of reserved. I can be social but I am perfectly happy with being alone and that can alienate me from my coteachers and aides. However I'm very patient and caring and want to help my community and the future and I make other people's needs a priority!
Hi there, I’ve been teaching since 2005, and seriously teaching gets harder every year . One of the things that I feel has helped me not quit is moving around in my career. Get other certifications, try other grade levels or schools. It helps. I do love.... my students and I know it’s worth it. Good luck 🍀.
I'm going into my 20th year of teaching and I still found your advise very helpful. Your are wise beyond your years. This upcoming year I am moving to a new school for some of the reasons you mentioned. Good luck with your new role as a mommy. 💗
I actually just left my old job because of the administrators and negativity in the whole district. I am excited to start fresh and work in a better environment.
My first year teaching last year has almost ruined me for teaching entirely. Like you said, administrators were so critical of certain teachers, played favorites, had no control of behavior, no concern for children with severe emotional issues(4 in my classroom), tried to control certain teachers, but offered zero support, only criticism & negativity. Luckily I had outside opinions from my alternate certification program who did support me as much as they could and told me what a great job I was doing. Now I am struggling to find another teaching job because I guess that principal was intent on ruining me for life. I think about giving up a lot..but this video is very helpful/eye opening.
Great advice for teachers at any stage of their career! I was ready to throw in the towel about six years ago when my assistant principal was named principal of our newest middle school and took me with her. She revitalized my career. This year was rough because I'm the oldest teacher at my school and the younger teachers shun me a lot even though I'm willing to collaborate and learn new things. My kids showed amazing growth, though. Then I received a letter from an 8th grader that made me sob like a baby and realize why I do what I do. In August I'll begin my 19th year, and I can't imagine doing anything else. I love talking with teachers both veteran and new and sharing ideas and advice.
+toocoolformiddleschool blog (toocoolforschoolblog) It does! Ps... A little something to help you with further teacher burn out: Although I never had you as a teacher, I'd like to consider you a director. Not only in the musicals/plays, but in life. Just wanted to let you know looking back at what you did for us was pretty incredible and I really respect you for that. I appreciate all the hard work you put into not just teaching but in life. Hopefully everything works well with you in the future and hope the baby is doing well. Sending awesome vibes from past students and myself to you!
When I was in my behavior management class in college, we did a personality day. I was the only person in my group. I have a unique personality when it comes to education, but I think it’s important that I stick it out. The education world needs variety.
I just took the 16 Personalities quiz and my results were ISFJ Defender. It described me in a nutshell. I am looking forward to becoming an elementary school teacher! You give me hope for my future career as a teacher! 😀 Thank you for all you do for our kids and congrats on your new baby boy! 😀
I needed this video right now. I just finished my 9th year of teaching and had my second baby this year. I resigned with the intention of getting out of teaching for awhile, then got wooed back to a school I used to work at. I have been watching your videos to get ideas for how to make this year different and renew my energy.
Just to clarify -- I didn't have two babies in one year. My older daughter is 3 and I started this school year on maternity leave for my second baby. When I read my comment back to myself I realized it may have sounded like I had my "second baby within a year."
+toocoolformiddleschool blog (toocoolforschoolblog) I know, right? My dad and his sister are 10 months apart, but I can barely keep it together with a 3 year old and a baby! I hope you and your baby are doing great!
I'm going into my 4th year of teaching and found this extremely helpful! I took the test and I found out I'm “THE MEDIATOR” (INFP-T). I think working on my weaknesses, like taking everything personally, will be very helpful! Because I really do, even if it's not meant to be taken personally. I'm also going to have my students take this test when school starts up again, as I think they will get a lot out of this as well. :) Thanks for the helpful advice and sharing.
This is a great advice video for teachers. I've been teaching for 15 years and it still helped me! I love teaching but finding the balance is so hard, thank you 😀
I'm an INFJ--The Advocate. The rarest personality type, apparently. :) Reading the profile fully explains why I feel at home teaching special ed. Weaknesses that are bad for teaching is that we're highly sensitive to criticism and are perfectionists. 😮 Strengths are really good for teaching: articulate, passionate, creative, decisive and basically good at detecting bs. 😛 Something that helps me to curb burn out is to have a hobby unrelated to teaching, along with scheduling something on the weekend, so you have something to look forward to at the end of the week.
Though some things have changed since this was posted in 2016... the stress hasn't. A ton of teachers in the US are flocking to China because pay is great here and pressure is much lighter. Our family paid off $55k in school loan debt while here! Contact me if you're interested in teaching in China. I can give advice and connect you with great places to work
Teacher burnout is an issue affecting a lot of teachers. It's important to reach out and connect with other teachers to share ideas and tips. You are NOT alone in your teaching journey. We have a community built by teachers for teachers. Our mission is to end teacher burn out and help teachers in their journey. You can learn more about us here: bit.ly/2SySBYI
Relating to this even now. I wonder how much is part of narcisstic behavior to self-impose self-sacrificing as if it's a normal part of teaching to feel like a hero to every parent and child, but in the end all the extra stuff was self-imposed. On a separate note, administration treat instructors as if it goes with the territory to have problematic students all year long.
Into my 19th yr, 12th at my current school. Am finally beginning to feel burnt out, I need a change. Looking into teaching in Cali, which may be enough of a fresh start, or maybe a completely new direction. I recognise all your points. Well put. Good luck to all.
I just want to say how much I love your videos! I just graduated high school and am planning to major in elementary education in college😊😊 your teacher videos are so helpful because I love seeing current teachers perspectives (:
I'm an ENFJ-T "the protagonist". I took the quiz about a year ago and forgot about it until you said something. I wish they had a kid version for our students to take so we could identify their personalities!
well I packed up my classroom all by myself this by Year and moved majority on my own. Husband moved the heavier bins. I have stuff in three different spots at my school. don't really like that but I am moving classrooms and grade levels anyway. I need to carve out time for at least plans for the first two weeks hopefully. Enjoy your time with your little one. if you don't get much in the way of school stuff done it's okay. you have another full time job being a mommy, which is super important and worthwhile.
I loved this video! I'm going into my 4th year and am feeling this way. I hope that I can take some of these pieces of advice to heart! I'm a ISFJ, a defender! It makes me patient and hard working, but also very focused on others' perception of me and I'm shy at first! some interesting weaknesses for a teacher ;)
This video is very useful. I am going into my 17th Year teaching. This video truly is motivational. I will be moving classrooms and grade levels once again. Not sure why I am moving grade levels or classrooms but like you suggested pick your battles. I have learned that I can't control the school or others classroom. I can only do my part and assist where possible. I did say no to things more this year. I have a baby and a 7 Year old. I am not superwoman and not gonna try to be.
Congratulations on the arrival of your baby. I came across your channel while looking for things related to teaching. I can honestly tell you as a middle school teacher (this is my 8th year) to hang in there as I also teach multiple subjects (3) and have two kids under the age of two :) I refer to years with difficult students as cyclic years and it seems like some years I get the honeymoon year, the we need marriage counseling year, and the divorce year with students (I've taught 11 years and it seems to trend that way). I will tell you that at 5 years, you peak--you get management, flow, and balance and it all just comes together. Plus with being a mom, you will have this awesome bond with your students in a way that you never did before (don't worry about getting old or moming out--they love it--I can't tell you how many times my students have called me "mom"--eek). What you are saying is so relevant about letting things go. I try to tell that to new teachers all the time (because I've also been there done that ;) ). Just like you I was very go get em' at the beginning of my career, but if you over-extend yourself, you do burn out quickly. I missed so many moments with my first child trying to do it all for school that when I had my second child this past March, I felt like I was getting a second chance at being a mom and not just a teacher. Enjoy your time with baby :) P.S. Sorry so long.
Haha, I love that you figured out that cycle! I think it's probably true with everyone. I'm crossing my fingers for a honeymoon this year since I will be so bummed to leave the baby every day! :)
Can I give you a mom tip if you are pumping at school? Being away from my baby, I had a hard time expressing milk. As weird as this sounds, I learned from another new mom at school to take a receiving blanket and rub it over the top of his head to get his scent before leaving him every day and then when I needed to pump...the blanket smelled like him and it made life 100% easier. I hope you get into the day care you want, I know that makes all the difference in the world for putting your mind at ease. Congrats on your new job, raise, and birthday. :)
I have the same exact personality type as you! I can relate to being organized. I can especially relate to the social justice piece! I run my classroom with an overarching theme of tolerance. I introduce a lot of civil rights movement examples and compare it to their daily lives. Seems to be working :) Thank you for another amazing video!!!
Thank you so much for your videos! This year I will be a first year 8th grade U.S. History teacher after practicing family & probate law for a couple of years. I am SO excited for the career change, but I know I have a lot of preparation and learning to do, so I've been binge watching all your videos! Haha! I don't know if it's because I, too, am a very Type A, super organized, hardworker who is personally offended by apathy and laziness (LOL) or it its just that you're so relatable in general, but in either case, your videos are definitely helping me to mentally prepare! If you have any advice for a second-career new middle school teacher, I'm all ears! :)
Oh wow, that's so cool that you were a lawyer! Whenever people ask me what I would do if I wasn't a teacher, that's what I say I would want to be. For my masters in history I took some law classes and they were some of my favorites. You're going to be such a knowledgeable US History teacher! Good luck!
Congratulations on being a new momma :)) ...I just did that personality test aswell and I got the same resutls as you haha Thank you for all your videos, you´re an inspiration!
Any advice for first year professors? I start in about 2 weeks. I feel both excited and nervous. I don't have much teaching experience. I'll be teaching writing courses. I feel that I may speak to my students from the perspective of my experiences as a writer.
David Boubion Oh wow! I don't really have much advice, but I'm jealous! As a student I always appreciated a very clear, very detailed syllabus with a break down of due dates and point values.
If what you’re being asked to do as a teacher is unreasonable then you need to resign.l Burn out is caused by attempting to accomplish the impossible when not provided with the right tools.
I LOVE all of your videos! I am a teacher myself. I teach high school. Do you know of any other teacher RUclipsrs who do vids relating to high school? Keep those videos a comin'! :-)
I am also entering my 5th year of teaching! One of my professors in college gave us a shoebox that she called the "Smile File," and every time I get a note from a student/parent/administrator, I put it in the box.

SparrowTale I love that! Such a great thing to emphasize
Great point . How did she teach you all to be grateful? Was it just mentioning gratitude or were there talks and activities around gratitude.
No only about it! Supply teachers are vital
It was a rough year for me too....I refuse to quit. I wanted to be a teacher since I was 5 years old. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love that. We refuse to quit! :)
I'm still a baby teacher, will be entering my 3rd year this fall, and your advice was SPOT ON... especially regarding "giving without expectations." Give when you can. Don't give when you can't then be resentful. Thanks for this much needed boost

Those are great qualities for a teacher!
INFJ teacher! 👊
INFJ teacher here! Not teaching this year, as I struggle with burn out. It’s so intense I just can’t do it for more than a year at a time.

Acinomnieves3 toxic administrators are the worst. what field did you choose?
My first year teaching last year has almost ruined me for teaching entirely.

The rolling eyes emoji 😂👀. I stood in front of you expelling so much energy and you can't even copy word for word what is on the board.
I was just selected to be a middle school ELA & social studies teacher... I am an INFJ personality type. So happy I found your channel! :)
Moonie Bo me too!
This is the beginning of my fifth year. Fourth year was my worst for sure. I am ready and refreshed for a new year!! 😊
Me too! I love that we get a fresh start every year!

Awww, I love those letters that just make all of the other frustrations melt away! Only kids seem to have that special power ;)
Teach like Finland is one of the best books on avoiding burnout and being an effective teacher! Also the Dead Poets Society is a really great movie!
Love that book! All their systemic differences are great. I wish we could implement them!
Love how you post teacher tip/aid videos and seeing other teachers leave feedback on how useful it is. Love what you're doing. Miss you! :)
Awww thanks Javi! It feels so weird not to be doing play rehearsals right now, I miss you guys!

What advice is there for a teacher who falls into the INTJ personality type?
rayva1 check out that website, it's really helpful!

Awesome list and I LIVE by #8

How is it looking back on this video 3 years later?? Has your perspective changed at all? Or have your surpassed your struggles?
You should watch Mr. Holland's Opus.
Congratulations on being a new momma :))
...I just did that personality test aswell and I got the same resutls as you haha
Thank you for all your videos, you´re an inspiration!
I wonder if a lot of us with that personality go into teaching. So interesting!
I never thought of that but it´s a good type I guess :) blessings
woo!! we have the same personality! somehow i guessed it before you even stated it ;)
can you do a behavior problems in students/kids and what to do
Teach burn out maybe? But student burn out is an understatement lol
Any advice for first year professors? I start in about 2 weeks. I feel both excited and nervous. I don't have much teaching experience. I'll be teaching writing courses. I feel that I may speak to my students from the perspective of my experiences as a writer.
David Boubion Oh wow! I don't really have much advice, but I'm jealous! As a student I always appreciated a very clear, very detailed syllabus with a break down of due dates and point values.
Great advice!
I like the no advice yikes my mom just came out but that works for her and she teaches my dad that advice he has a hard time saying the word no
If what you’re being asked to do as a teacher is unreasonable then you need to resign.l Burn out is caused by attempting to accomplish the impossible when not provided with the right tools.
Thank you 😊
I LOVE all of your videos! I am a teacher myself. I teach high school. Do you know of any other teacher RUclipsrs who do vids relating to high school? Keep those videos a comin'! :-)
The majority are elementary right? I'm still on the look out for some high school teachers myself but Kayse Morris teaches 8th! :)
