    My third grade teacher gave me advice back in 1992 prior to my first day in my classroom. He said to find something that went well during the day and focus on that and try not to dwell too much on what did not go well during the day. This is year 27 for me, and that is the advice that I give to new teachers. Thank you for your presentation.

      So great to hear from a fellow veteran! I am beginning my 24th year of teaching and I am still learning so much! That's one of the best parts about teaching, every year we get new kids, new personalities, new backgrounds, etc. Creates new-ness every year!

  • @elainerobertson6825
    @elainerobertson6825 Před 5 lety +43

    I'm starting year 31 (!). Thank you! It's true - experienced teachers (including me) fall into a pattern, tiredness, etc. I had your enthusiasm when I started and want to bring that back. When I started I could tell which teachers should just get it over with and retire. I didn't understand how people could wind up like that. Now I do. I'm not there, but want to regain that spirit again. :) Your videos remind me of the attitude I once had had. Time for me to watch YOUR videos and begin anew.

  • @krystalvaldez9144

    I really want to be a teacher when I grow up. I really want to start watching videos really early about this stuff. I am only 11. Thank you for these tips I am just getting more excited to start a teaching career when I am older. If I don’t teach when I am older I am going to be sad.

I cried when Billy proposed and I have laughed more as you became more confident in yourself. This video was another fab video and it just gets me so excited to start my new career. I am based in the UK and my teaching career is starting late (I'll be 30 in sept) and I simply can't thank you enough for these videos!!!

    @ruth649 Před 5 lety +1

    I definitely agree about taking one day a week as a no schoolwork day! Another thing that I find helpful is having a cut off time for working in the evenings. Mine is usually 6pm because that's what time we get kicked out of the building and I try not to take work home with me then (sometimes I leave earlier and do stuff from home instead, in which case my cut off time would be later). I think that's such an important rule to make as a new teacher to help you from burning out, and I only break it if things absolutely have to be done by the following day. I also have a bed time that I try to stick to so I get enough sleep!

    Im a 17 year old guy and Teaching high school history has been an interest of mine for a while. Starting to prioritize this interest over my others so I’m looking for info on how to connect with students and what to expect. I didn’t have a good high school experience so I feel like that would push me harder to help to build relationships with students rather than just be an authority figure in the room. I’ve always had a desire to be in the position of helping others and I think teaching is my best option. Thanks for the info 🙏🏼
