Always Play the New Teacher Card
🌟 My Journey as a New Teacher | Embracing the New Teacher Mindset 🌟
In this video, I take you through the roller coaster of my first year of teaching-the excitement, the challenges, and the overwhelming moments. From stepping into my classroom for the first time to discovering an unexpected gift from my mentor teacher, I learned valuable lessons that have shaped my teaching philosophy.
🎁 The New Teacher Card: A simple yet powerful reminder that being a teacher isn’t about perfection-it's about growth, experimentation, and embracing the glorious imperfections that make us who we are. Whether it’s navigating a chaotic classroom or dealing with the tough days, this mindset has stayed with me through every year of my teaching journey.
✨ Why the New Teacher Mindset Matters: Every year brings a new set of students, experiences, and challenges, and with them, the opportunity to innovate and grow. In this video, I share how this mindset has transformed my approach to teaching, from elementary school to the university level, and why I believe it’s crucial for educators at every stage of their careers.
🔗 Join me as I reflect on my journey and explore how we can all embrace the New Teacher Mindset to foster creativity, resilience, and continuous learning in our classrooms.

    Looking back at this now, I am laughing. Misguided and misinformed in computer science. AI will surpass all human abilities in understanding other humans. It will and already is personalized. The author also got wrong the idea of how AI works. It is not very fact based, and goes off opinion without any knowledge of computational AI futures. AI will replace humas teachers in the private sector first, and public organizationns will just take longer.

    Love this video but especially the comments. I wanted to be either a Math Teacher or a Software Engineer. I chose Software Engineer and got scared at all of the AI innovation. I heard one person lost their job to an AI. I started to think maybe I should have taken the educational path. Seeing all the comments here made me realize that this AI talk is mostly hype. A lot of money was put into AI during c0vid and investors want their return on investments. Overhype is the only way to achieve this. If AI could take any of our jobs it would have by now.

    I loved the book but found it a bit to verbose, to lengthy as it keeps repeating the same basic idea. This video captures this idea perfectly in 2 minutes. So, read the book if you have the time. The repetition in the book will make sure that the message sticks. But, watch this movie, or show it to friends and colleagues to share the idea!

    I’m so happy I found this (8 years later). Teachers changed my life so much that I am now becoming a teacher for the blind. They pushed me and showed me what’s possible, despite my own vision loss. Learning more and more about teachers makes me really reflect on what it means to have an impact on the next generation, and the impact that they had on me (both good and bad ).

    Great video John. One of the most powerful things we can do is learn how to reframe. For example, instead of saying “I don’t know how to do this”, we can say “I don’t know how to do this YET” . Thanks for the great video
