It's funny, a lot of kids don't realize the first day of school is a lot more scary for teachers.
Kids always look at adults and think they have it together or all figured out. Kids don’t realize that’s not really true. Which is why when adults are honest or have #realrap with kids the kids respond really well.
Your classroom looks amazing. I'm in week 5 of my first year of teaching, and my kids humbled me straight away. They didn't care that I'm smart and funny, or that I'd read a ton of pedagogical books. They just wanted to know if I was going to be useful to them or not. We're getting along fine now, but that first week was definitely a little traumatic.
I hope things are getting better Emily. Please let me know if I can ever help. Just shoot me an email and we can figure it out.
I'm curious now since you wrote this 4 years ago, are you still teaching now?
"that weird teacher who knows too much about their students" lol
Sounds like someone I know. 😂
Nice thumbnail of The Rock. My favourite wrestler back in the day
You are a true disciple of the profession! If you haven't won any awards or commendations yet, they are surely coming your way. I heard about you from Gary Vee's show.
Thanks for stopped by! I really appreciate the kind words. I've gotten a lt of love in the last few days and non of it is lost on me. It's my honor to work in this profession.
BTW, I give myself awards in school all the time. I think it's hilarious and my kids think it is the weirdest shit ever, which is pretty much the story of my life. Thanks again man!! I am going to tell the students on Monday who was picked to go. We are going to record the whole journey. CAN'T WAIT!!
@@CJReynolds Seriously, this is my 23rd year of teaching and I know that it's the few like yourself who take your craft seriously that make quality differences in the lives of young people. My hats off to you.
Greeting kids at the door is so powerful!!
+Life in Kafoople Land the guy I student taught with did it and I just followed suit. It's one of my favorite parts of the day.
yes! I greet random students in the hall too and I'll compliment hair or shoes.
In Germany teachers don't have an own room, you change rooms several times a day and kids are in front of the Rom before you, so shaking hands would feel strange, although i would like to do it
Best video yet. 11 years teaching and still got to work on these.
+thatSTEMclass 😁Thanks! I'm headed into my 12th year and I think we're never done learning, tweaking, and honing the craft!
I just finished my first year. Students seemed very angry when I reinforced my rules. It was very tiring. Yes, I was dealing with the school's toughest 8th Grade class since they were kindergarten. I struggled to build relationships with disruptive students. I gave a lot of love and passion. I'm going to try another year but I'm a traumatized quite a bit from my first year.
I learned way more than I taught and I'm grateful for these past 10 months.
+Marissa it's important to remember that teaching is a craft. Be patient with yourself and put the kids first and you will succeed. My first year was hilariously bad. I've had stuff thrown at me, kids threaten to kick my ass, and all other manner of madness. It passes and you get better. Next year some kid will show up that needs you. Be for that child the teacher you always wanted. Let me know if I can ever do anything. For real.
I know this feel. However, it gets better.. Always!
@@CJReynolds I'm doing my first year teaching right now and am feeling really disillusioned. Kids seem very entitled and SO disrespectful. I'm trying to get through this year one day at a time. I want to be here for the students who need it. I just hope I'm strong enough.
Love love how your classroom is decorated! Very much my style, I want to teach elementary but most teachers have these crazy bright colors and chevron patters and clip art thingys. So not me! But I guess the kids like it, what do you think? I love the hanging books you have up too! Can you do a classroom tour?
+Sporty Spice thanks so much! My room is really important to me. I'm there more than my own living room! I too dislike most of the stuff they have at teacher stores. My room has become a hangout for most of the students and teachers, which is a total honor because I love hanging out with them.
I've had first graders in my class and they love it. Especially, the tree and the flying books. I think kids just love wonder and creativity. I say make your room a place you would have loved to be in when you were a kid.
I'll make a classroom tour video this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help! Thanks for checking out my channel!
I might've already commented this but I'm watching this again to try to keep surviving my first year and THE PAPER TIP IS SO ON POINT, we have run out of paper twice or probably more and thank GOD you told me to hide some paper!! Thanks haha
HAHA! I've gotten that comment from so many people! I'm glad it worked out. 😊
I just finished my 1st year as middle school history teacher. I agree with everything, especially on relationships and being yourself.
+Karen Sanchez thanks Karen! Too often I just think teachers ( and maybe everyone else) are too afraid to be themselves.
Congrats one your first year!! How did it go? Will you be teaching the same thing next year?
Real Rap With The Reynolds It was a great year in every way. Right down to that one challenging class that continually tried my life, lol. I am bursting with ideas for the next year. I am returning to the same school but not sure which history or grade I'll get. We're getting a new principal too so that'll also be interesting.
Omg congratulations how was it it like
P.s one day I want to be a 7th grade social studies teacher
I vividly remember my first day of teaching like it was last month!!
My students were really excited and thrilled to have a new teacher(male) and I was so lost!
Definitely a great experience
Im not a teacher but i really enjoy your videos. I believe your voice travels much deeper than the classroom. You have a golden soul my friend.
hey that rhymed..... bars hahaha
My students say that all the time. 😂😂
Future middle school teacher (within the next year or two) here and I absolutely LOVE your videos! I'm really nervous about being creative enough with the content I'll be teaching so the students will be receptive but I know I can do it. Your videos remind me to not be so hard on myself and that teaching will forever be a learning process and a journey. Thank you! New subscriber!
+Rasheeda Ogburn thanks for the compliment! A little bit of creativity goes a long way. Seriously. If I can ever be of service please let me know. Good luck Rasheeda!
I remember driving to my very first day of teaching. I was so excited and nervous.
How do you drive to teaching?
Michelle she was so excited she drove through the class room
I'm changing careers from higher education as an academic advisor to teaching Spanish at 38 years old. I'm so nervous and excited and watching your videos are awesome!
WOW. You are so cool. I totally love your style and your creative classroom. I know for sure your students love you man.
What you are doing here in this channel is incredible my friend. I came here from a video where you talked to Gary. I wish we had these kind of teachers publishing content in this really important field in my country. Keep going on! I also want to create technology and content on learning in near future. My CZcams channel is just a first step for that. Who knows we can even meet one day! See you until then. I hope all the best for you.
You can tell this dude is a great dad. Thanks Reynolds. Good content.
I love that the kids are in the video recreating those classroom situations! What a great relationship you have with the students :D
Keeping the non-teachers happy makes for a better teaching experience. I appreciate our support staff. Also, my name is on my cellphone because I tend to leave it in the bathroom.
This was a much needed pep talk for me as a first year teacher. Thank you!
Why is this dude just like... the best teacher? I don’t understand
😂😂 Thanks so much. ❤️
I'm in college studying to become a lit teacher like yourself; I stumbled across your channel and just thought you should know how inspiring it is to see teachers like yourself, being yourself and motivating kids to do the same. Your classroom looks awesome and you can tell how much fun you have with it; you definitely are impacting those students lives whether you know it or not! Please keep up the content, it's captivating for up and coming teachers like myself.
I followed this plan for my first year and it was an awesome year! Built some great relationships with staff and the kids! Thanks for putting this info out!!
I teach a college class on classroom management, and I loved everything you said. Great information for new teachers or any teacher needing classroom management ideas.
Hi Mr Reynolds! I stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago and I absolutely love your content and classroom! I'm starting my internship in two weeks and your videos helped to calm my nerves. Keep up with the good work!🎉
I am working through an alternative certification program and I just have to thank you for creating these videos. I feel like I have learned so much more from watching and listening to you than I have from reading through their modules.
I’m about to go to school to be a high school teacher and I’ve been nervous and second guessing myself. I want to inspire kids and be the teacher I always wanted. I just found your channel and I love your videos! You’re totally boosting my confidence and making me feel like I’ve chosen the right path. Your content is amazing.
I like your classroom decor. Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you so much for sharing! Your content is great + inspiring - I'm looking forward to starting my ed journey soon!
Yes!! You’re so awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm new to teaching High School, specifically HS art and I am excited, but a little nervous. This video was a boost in my confidence. Thank you, Reynolds!
Remember the first year is hard for everyone. It’s new and teaching is a craft that takes time to hone. Be kind and patient with yourself and don’t forget self care!
Your students will love and remember you forever. You are an incredible person and we need millions like you. Ur so measured.
You just found yourself a new subscriber :)
I just got hired as an ELD teacher at a high school and I needed to hear some of this advice. Thank you for the high quality video!
+greenelphiexoxo Awesome thank you and congratulations on the new job!! I'm so glad this helped! Please reach out if I can ever help you! 😁
I found your channel earlier this evening, and I have watched your vlogs for about two to three hours straight. I completely agree with all the advice you have given. I have worked in the education field for twelve years, but the 2017-2018 school year will be my first official year as a teacher. {I graduate in less than three weeks! Eek!} I love your classroom set up as well. I found some great ideas within these videos. Keep them coming, please.
+Sarah Hall Wow Sarah, thank you so much! So exciting for you to finally be getting into a classroom! What were you doing in education for the last twelve yrs? I have tons of content coming this summer so keep a eye out. Every Tuesday @8pm will be a live Teacher Talk (me and different teacher every week) for you to ask questions, please join if your free! I'm glad your finding great ideas and inspiration in the videos and congratulations on graduating in three weeks! Hang in there!! Let me know if I can ever help with anything!
Thanks for this great video! Helped me a lot as a soon to be student teacher!!
Ohhh mate, this has to be the best video you have done to date. Well best I have seen anyway, I haven't got through them all yet :)
I have a few friends that are teachers, and yes we might be in Australia, but everything you are suggesting can certainly be done here as well. So I will definitely be sharing this video with them all.
+Geelong Cable Locations haha! Thanks! I met some really great teachers from Australia and New Zealand last year at a conference and we had the best time. They were just as crazy as I am. Thanks for the support and for passing along the videos. It's great to be able to help where I can! Thanks!!
Lol. I applied for my first art teaching job since taking time off 4 years ago to grow our family so I’ve been watching these videos and they have helped so much!❤️
As a finalist I had to teach a sample art lesson to the students (who get to help select the candidate that gets the job). Sooo I was dying laughing when you mentioned that you can kill yourself trying to reinvent the wheel to make the perfect lesson plan. That is EXACTLY what I did for a week straight. I was even thinking of teaching a very complicated art that I haven’t ever even done myself bc of course all of the (awesome) art lessons I have taught and written in the past were definitely not good enough 🙄. After much panic and failed trials at home, I wound up teaching one of my tried and true art lessons and the students LOvED it and so did I! Thanks for making these videos. It’s super helpful!!
I have to join in and say kudos to you! You literally make me wanna be a better teacher! Maybe I’m having a mid life (teaching) crisis but I’m about start teaching high school FACS after teaching only kindergarten and first grade for many years. I’m super excited about working with the ‘big’ kids, but they also scare the crap out of me! Your videos are awesome- any ‘new to high school’ advice would be greatly appreciated!
Just subscribed! Great ideas, especially that remote holder. Love your humor! I taught high school for 12 years and have been teaching elementary kids for almost 3 years now. Totally agree with you that a teacher should not be their students' friend. There are other ways to develop fun and healthy relationships with them without overstepping those boundaries. Hearing you talk about high schoolers brings back so many good memories. Thanks!
+Mai A thanks for checking me out!! Wow what a change from high school to elementary. Can I ask what prompted that change?
I love high school so much. I really have such wonderful guys.
Burnout. I miss my kids. However, I love my little ones, as well! I can see you have a great relationship with your students.
I’m about to start my VERY first teaching job in the middle of the year. Thanks for the information.
I really appreciate this video. I am in the process of finishing my 6-12 ag science teaching certification and will begin teaching next year. I am doing my training through alternative certification so I did not get my degrees in teaching. I have gotten better at teaching through making educational videos on my channel and have worked as a graduate teaching assistant for 2 years now so I have experience teaching college classes, but it will be different ball game in HS im sure. To be real honest my anxiety is there whether I want to admit it or not. I don’t think it’s because I’m afraid to begin teaching, rather I think it is going into the unknown and not knowing what to expect and I’m sure that will only get better once I begin this journey, but it’s something I haven’t really shook yet. Thank you again for your videos. They are giving me a lot of good information that I need and helps me to gain more assurance that this will all work out in the end. Subscribed 😊
Awesome job, thank you so much keep up the good work! Great tips!
Great stuff. Entering year one this August. Thanks!
I love what you said about relationships versus friendship. Students know 100 percent if you are invested or not! What I would do to be a fly on the wall in your room man!!
Thank you for all of your videos! This page has been very encouraging to me. Cheers!
Gasp!!!! My remote is also missing. It walked when a casual (sub) took my classes one day. I'm still so angry about that. I now have to use a stick. Like an idiot.
+Life in Kafoople Land Noooooo!!! You need a sneaky book! If you tell me what kind of remote you get I will make you a book. For real.
I'm so happy I found your channel. I also teach high school English (and math)-special education and I'm also from NJ! It's so true about being nice to everyone. Great point and enjoy the last few days of school. 😊
+erwina8 relationships are everything! From the office staff to the kids. Where are you from in Jersey? Thanks for the compliment!
Real Rap With The Reynolds Marlton! Now I teach around Allentown,PA
It's refreshing to see someone discussing the challenges teachers faces challenges.
I loved your advice on putting your name on everything. My first year of teaching was 23 years ago. My first two years at that school, I lost my desk chair: graduation took place in the gym, so they would grab all the free chairs from the building. My third year, I put my name on that chair so I didn't have to hunt it down the next fall.
But I ended up leaving after that 3rd year. One of my students has been teaching in that classroom for the past 16 years. She says she is always asked what that word on the chair means. (I have a very long, Polish last name.) So I'm still making my mark there!
Seriously thank you for these videos! I start teaching middle school history in a week and I have no experience in education. I’ve been working in a jail for 3 years and finally made the jump to something I’m passionate about. Coming into a new profession so late into the school year seems so daunting, but I’m up for the challenge.
Hey Austin! I’m happy to do it. My best to you in your new journey!
Amazing thank you thank you! You are an inspiration your lessons are my life line!
I placed my kids in a private school that I couldn't afford with faith that it would workout somehow. I had made an aquaponics system for the school and thank u Lord the school loved it so much I was given the title of STEM teacher and the tuition is nearly covered! I have big dreams for this school gardens and such...I can't fail but I 've never taught a day in my life! 3k through 12! I'm quite shy 5 ft and determined and lost until your channel. Thanks to you I have real hope that I can do this and do it well for the kids and our school! I would be so lost without your insights! Can't thank you enough!
I am a Junior @ Boise State. I am currently going for my business degree, but with a conversation with a high school friend in her first year as a teacher and watching your videos, I am going to change/add a minor to my degree to teach. You are inspiring and fun to watch. Thanks Reynolds!
Coming back to the classroom after 12 years of being a stay at home mom. Started in El Ed and now preparing to teach middle school. For sure feeling like it’s my first year of teaching… again! Thank you so much for this awesome advice and your willingness to share!
Love it! Glad to help Megan!
Took your advice and stashed a ream of paper in my desk just the other day. Just saved me big time today after school! Best tip ever! 🙏🏻
It’s a favorite idea of mine. So glad it came in handy for you!
Looking forward to following this channel. I have just begun my pursuit of history for secondary education, and I hope to be as informed as possible before I set foot in a classroom.
Thanks for following! Please email if I can help with anything!
Great advice!!
I'm a 2nd Career teacher in his 5th year of high school Science teaching and this advice is golden!!
Oh ma ma Mia!!! That remote control expertly dug into the book speaks volumes about your planning.
They never see it coming. 😂
This is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! You speak my mind, and I shared this with my practicum student...
Love it!! Thanks for sharing and for teaching the next gen of teachers. 👍🏽
Thank you for making this video. I've just completed my first student prac. Oh, it was tough and I had quite the rocky start. I started the first day being all low modality and nervous.. and my challenging students decided to take advantage of that. Definitely going to learn from my mistakes and try again for my next prac!
+for learning from your mistakes is everything. I could tell stories for days about that.
I try to enter school as the best version of myself that I can be. Otherwise the kids will get to you faster or they will eat you up. It's funny to me how much pissed me off when I'm not in sort of a GO mode. Now I just have a routine every morning that leaves me ready for the day. Most of the time. 😁
Real Rap With Reynolds. A year later, but could you please share that routine?
I love your videos - thanks for sharing your insights. I'm hoping to start training to teach secondary/high school science soon, so it's really helpful to hear from you and the other teachers on youtube.
+Gareth Leaney Great!! I'm glad your finding value in them and please reach out if I can ever help in anyway! Good luck with everything!
You're videos have really helped me today. Thank you for your amazing videos and being so honest. Truly appreciated.
It’s my pleasure Jane. ❤️ My best to you.
I am starting my first year as a behaviors tomorrow in a class room with children that have so called behavioral issues. I am trying to get as much information as I can to prepare myself. I just subscribed and am so appreciative that there are these kind of supportive videos out here!
How did it go?
this is awesome! I am student teaching now and this is helpful. Just discovered your channel and really into it.
I am glad you like it. 😊 please hit me up with any questions you have while student teaching. My email is realrapwiththereynolds@gmail.com
I came over from One Fab Teacher channel... I really like your content and your channel so far.
+PoliteChoice thanks so much for coming over to check out my channel and for the nice compliment! 😁
Those kids are so lucky! You are immensely likable and wise! And, yes, forming relationships is key! I loved teaching for 36 years and I am now mentoring teachers. Thanks for the message of preparedness...so needed! I have shared the link with my mentees. Our message is similar...I will try some of your humor when I do a demo lesson, so thanks for adding to my toolbox!
Thanks Mareva! If there is ever a video I can make for you and your mentees please let me know. ☺️👍🏽
thank you sir it may help alot because this would be my first year in teaching this june and I will really used your advice regarding classroom management I can picture it out. two thumbs up
You are #lifegoals! I love your channel, your wisdom and your authenticity.
Best advice. EVER.
I love your videos. I'm not a teacher yet but I'm starting my credential program in the fall.
Thanks!! Best of luck!!
Hoping to have my very first year starting this fall (job searching now)! Thank you for sharing such wonderful advice. :-)
+Casey S. my pleasure! Please let me know if there's anything I can help with going forward or if there are any videos that you think would be helpful. Good luck!
Will do! Thank you!
You know, I always wanted to become a teacher, but the more I think about it the more I get scared to take that step. Ever since I found you/this channel, that passion I had came back stronger than ever.
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good advice Mr Reynolds.
Omg, this thumbnails are so incredibly funny. I love it .
Ms. May from One FAB Teacher mentioned you in one of her videos. I really enjoyed all of your advice. New subscriber!
+V Jules I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for coming over and checking out the channel. Ms. May really is One FAB Teacher!!
my opinion is that you are a successful teacher and I have never met a teachertruly as kind as you. I was hesitant to leave the teaching proffession because I failed at classroom management.
But when I saw this video, I realized that it is not the end, I can be a successful teacher like you are . I think that your personnality is the same as mine, the same thing man!!!!!
I wantched all you videos about classroom management, I will try them .
thank you verry much, you increased my kindness and my self-esteem.
I wish I can reward you for this, you have family and a lot of work and you dedicate your time to helping poor people like me...
I don't know what to say
Just want to let you know that your videos aren't just helpdul for secondary teachers but for college teachers too!
I teach an English 100 class for at risk students. Many of my kids don't come from the best environment and home life. I have had to learn that listening goes a long way if I want to reach them and gain their trust(food helps too). I also have learned to utilize activities/assignments that they can relate to on a personal level. I have seen drastic changes in their attitudes and grades.
Thanks for the videos and please keep them coming!
Great tips!! Very motivating!
+Deana Bahadoorsingh thanks so much and thank you for watching! 😁
...be authentic. Yes. Thanks for yet another gold nugget. I thought I will never be able to be a primary school teacher (I am thinking of training to become one) because I can't fake all this happy clappy high pitched voice stuff which I have seen in so many instructional videos.
I am not a naturally funny person or make jokes. It is just not me.
But guess what, you a very right, if I am authentic to my true nature I can inspire too, just not in that stereotypical primary teachery way. I just so love your videos.
I am second year kindergarten teacher and everything that you shared in this video I completely agree and try to do with my kinders.
+citylightsx3 so glad! I just did a live feed last night with a kindergarten teacher and we were talking about how much our jobs are alike even thought we Teach different ages. Hope your year is ending well!
Couldn't have said it better! Been in education as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and now a professor at a University teaching new aspiring teachers and this guy has nailed it!
Thanks Trisha! I appreciate the kind compliment. What are you teaching now in college?
Great video ! I’m still a student and my dream is to become a science teacher… Thank you for the advice.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!! I can see that you're a good teacher! You make me excited to go work! I haven't been teaching for the last couple years cause I went back to college and I miss it!!
+The resa I would miss it too, we only have two weeks left until the summer and I find myself reaching out to students over the summer just because I want to know what they've been up to and know if they're ok. I hope you get back to a classroom soon!
That´s awesome.
I will work as a child care provider over the summer, definitely excited about that!
What an incredible video. Respect, sir.
Thank you.
I ❤ the setup of your classroom! Very creative! 😀 I most definitely agree with your tip about relationships are king. Positive interactions with students are very important to classroom management. Confidence is also key. Natural and logical consequences are also important. Even when I have to discipline a student, I use logical consequences. Example: If a student is kicking a basketball underneath the pavilion or gymnasium, I will give a verbal warning first. If it happens again, I just walk over to a student or group of students and withhold the ball from them for a few minutes until they have thought about their actions. They typically won't get upset at me for it and they typically apologize after a few moments! 😀 I also make it my point to be nice and loving to everyone. By the way, if you haven't already noticed, I am a Middle School Paraprofessional in Physical Education! 😀 When I had to cover a different classroom last week, many of my students were happy to see me because they know I care, even though I have very high expectations for behavior and academics! I would ❤ to teach 4th grade in the near future! 😀
Excellent!! Being kind goes so far. It's like kids don't expect to see that from a teacher. Keep up the great work Teach!!!
Thank you so much! 😀 Thank you for all you do for our youth! I am very sure your kids appreciate it very much! 😀
Meeting them where they are. Spectacular paradigm. You deserve the NOBEL prize. The Jordan Peterson award.
Great video. I am halfway through my grad program for elementary education. Look forward to my first year of teaching 2024-2025😅.
Thanks!
I'm so excited ... you are about to break 200!!!
+Kate The Sleepy Teacher I know. I keep reloading my page to see if it has happened yet!!! Haha. Thanks Kate!!
With those guns in your thumbnail, you are sure to get it tonight
I'm sure by the end of the night.
You are so hilarious Reynolds! I'm. It going to lie I got hooked on Jersey shore too. Like seriously you are so genuine and real! Yes, put your name on EVERYTHING AND HIDE IT!! We need to collab soon my friend!!!! ((Hugs))
+One FAB Teacher that would be awesome. You could dress up like Snooki and I could be Paulie D! For real I would love to colab. Hit me up with a message on Instagram or Facebook. Thanks Fab!
OMG the hidden remote in a book had me rolling! That's some National Treasure level work right there lol.
Mr.Reynold’s I am taking my PGCE course (secondary mathematics) sep 2020 in the university o Birmingham dubai.I believe your an expert in your field.I feel a bit daunted about what’s coming ahead, yet your tips are giving me self confidence.
12.46 flipping the bird lol. This is a really great, down to earth video. I was told 'attention-seeking is attachment seeking'. Seems legit to me.
Starting my first ever teaching job next week. English 3 & 4 Honors and Creative Writing. Wish me luck 😅
This video helped a lot. You’re awesome
Best of luck to you Victor! I hope this is the best year ever. peace
I just got my first teaching job. I start on Monday teaching middle school. I really needed this video. I am extremely nervous.
I totally agree on the importance of creating relationships and making content relevant to kids interests. This year I am teaching 7th grade, the youngest group I've ever had. The issue I run into with younger kids is simply how FEW interests most of them have. Its a very uninteresting age lol.
yes guy! Great tips.
Thanks Mike!
Senior in highschool. Gonna go into Education and watching all of your videos to prepare mentally
I'm going into my first year of teaching (high school) this upcoming fall and I found this video very entertaining :-) I just graduated last month!
Congrats!!! What are you going to teach?
Real Rap With Reynolds 9th and 10th Lit
Noticed at 1:33 'consistent' is misspelled. Appreciate these tips. Thanks, Mr. Reynolds!
