There's not that much hate in these comments, but if you go looking for it... just ignore it. I agree with you, Mr. Hester is doing great. Love watching his classes.
Super helpful ! You are a very great teacher! I almost cried when you told the kids you have binders for students who can't afford them. Truly amazing. Thank you for not only being a great teacher but being committed to educating children the RIGHT way !! Kudos !!
Mr. Hester, I am an attorney who changed careers to become a high school social studies teacher and am currently doing everything I can to get better at classroom management as I seek my first permanent teaching position. I'll just say that I've watched a few of your videos on the subject and MAN, there is a lot we rookies can learn from you. So thanks for posting and keep being the awesome teacher that you are for your students!!!
@@John-om3dx It is true that many teachers are drastically underpaid but that's not always the case. In the Chicago area where I live, for example, teachers can and often do make over $100,000 per year. As far as your point about my going through law school and passing the bar, I would say that sometimes in life you just have to be flexible/willing to switch gears in order to find the professional situation that is right for you. For my part, I had no passion whatsoever for practicing law and it was making me miserable. So I went back to the drawing board, decided to become a teacher and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Again, flexibility is the key.
Mr.Hester is an awesome teacher! Wish I had him in 9th grade English! You can tell he really cares about his students and their education! I love his positive encouragement!
Your first video about classroom management was very helpful both for us new teachers in the US and seasoned teachers as well. I've been teaching for 7 years in the Phil. and now will be teaching in the US for the first time. It was also awesome on how you handle that student of yours with attitude. It was nice and positively done.
Thank you for such enriched information, knowledge, wisdom, content, all of it is highly appreciated. I am watching this in the year 2024 and there is so much I took notes from and will definitely implement them into my classroom. I also watched your week 1 days 1-3 and Meet Mr. Hester videos. Thank you, Thank you, thank you! I think that a lot of what you have demonstrated is what students truly desire from a teacher structure, great management (classroom, time, etc.), an agenda (both daily and weekly), silent time, thinking time, your softness and firmness at the same time with expectations and consequences. I see the building of character and wanting to be in your class because you always got them going on something.
Hi Mr. Hester, I'm Anita from Malaysia. I teach year 3 and 4 in a home school. I am so motivated and was blown away with how you have conducted your grade 9 students so effortlessly! I loved your tour of the classroom management and can't wait to start something similar to get going with for the following year. You are an amazing teacher! Hope to see more of your interesting videos and fun ways to captivate student's attention. Thanks so much!
I wanted to say thank you for your resources. Some kids need more structure than others. My students don't need quite so much, but on the other hand, I need to become more consistent and have better structures in place. So, thank you for your great ideas and especially for your rocking syllabus. I really appreciate some of the materials in the dropbox files. You're super awesome and generous for sharing it with the public. Thanks again!!
Mr. Hester (maybe Dr. Hester by now)...WOW! Thank you for hours of putting in to these videos. I will be using them as training videos with my first year teachers. Well done! So practical and SO RICH with content to train with.
Wow. Just wow. I have really enjoyed and benefited a lot from these videos! Thank you for sharing. I spent all day today making notes to really hit this coming year hard, and your videos were the most helpful, and least staged/annoying :) I really can tell that you've done a lot of research and a lot of preparation to teach your students the best and teach them how to teach and manage themselves. Your students, like my students in rural Texas, have little to nothing, so structure and management are the key components for us as well. Last year, I was hired mid year and 4 days before even graduating at a low-income title one school after a student tried to stab a teacher with a pencil, and she was moved after a nervous breakdown. She had lost. A kind, caring, and extremely intelligent teacher had been taken down by 34 or so students. Thankfully, I look a bit "rough around the edges" and most gave me respect because I one, look pretty hard (one on the first day asked if I had been to jail, and another if I rode a motorcycle, neither of which I do), and two, I was real with them about myself and my expectations, and firm. I was not; however, any where near a good teacher, or close to being the teacher I want to be. Hence, massive video searching and note taking. So again, thank you so much for the videos and resources. I AM WRITING THIS POST IN ORDER TO SEE IF I MAY GET A HOLD OF YOUR QUOTE OF THE DAY PROMPTS? Here is my email if so (jennifer.stark@dvisd.net). I run an after school writing club, as well as do daily writing warm-ups in class such as flash fiction exercises, and these could be very, very helpful. Or was there a QotD generating site that you used? Anyways, would love to get a hold of those, appreciate you for all the assistance you have posted for us, and appreciate all that you're doing in the classroom :) --A Zero Year Teacher
I will be starting my 4th year in a couple of days and I am still referring back to your videos and especially the first two weeks lesson plan. Buying your book was one of the best ideas I ever had! Thank you!
I just found your video recently because I'm about to graduate from teacher school and soon be certified as a new teacher, when I see your video I feel kind a get blessed to start my career as a English teacher. So sad that you are not making video again sins 8 years ago. I hope you can rise up and make this content again.
I'm a teacher about to enter my first year of teaching in disadvantaged schools in the UK helping in my own small way to end educational inequality. I just wanted to say that you are an inspiration!
I like watching your classes. I am really impressed with your credentials and your abilities with the students. They really respond to you and your methods. Good luck with whatever you are doing, sure it is a success.
Thanks for your wonderful and inspiring videos. I don’t know about everyone else, but my approach to watching your lessons is to take what works for me and discard the rest. What does everyone want here-to be spoon fed? I have been hanging out in teacher lounges recently as I am finishing up my student teaching, and I’ve gotta say, the teachers who regularly complain and criticize others seem to be the ones who have given up on education.
Wow you are a Great Teacher! I am Not a Teacher i wish i had a teacher like you when i was in high school back then now I'm 29 yrs old i was in special classes because i was slow in reading and math and have a earing problem since i was small i was in special class since middle school to high school kids used to bullying me i never talk about it until now i did not finish high school i have 3 beautiful children now and a amazing husband 👨👧👧👩👦i am a homestay mom I'm going to get my G.E.D online in couple of weeks i can't go to college to get it because i get anxiety when I'm with alot of people Around me wish me good lock🍀i wish they will be more Teachers like you!🙏❤ God Bless you! I just wanted to share my story greetings from Arizona
You are an outstanding teacher i saw from the videos w your students. You put me in the mind of Morgan Freeman Lean On Me. Discipline, Demand the best from your students, But you do it with Love
👏👍wow congratulations Mr. Hester! You are such an inspirational teacher. I've been watching all your vids and your so sharp man. Keep it going your kids will really appreciate you being their teacher. Thanks again for all the tips and for sharing your amazing classroom. All the very best to you sir.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I am now more relaxed when teaching in the classroom and me and my students enjoy learning even more. Thanks a lot again :)
Thanks for sharing your classroom! It was very helpful to me. Your approach to classroom management and your 7 steps book are awesome. It looks like your classroom rules and consequences were influenced by "The First Days of School" (Wong & Wong), which I think is also an awesome teacher resource.
Each teacher has to do what works for them and for their students. I get that. That being said, there is way too much going on in that classroom. The walls are busy and distracting, it would drive me crazy and my kids nuts, but if it works for you and your kids...GO FOR IT!!!
I have tried A LOT of the things that he does in his classes AND my students were primary school kids AND i'm mexican with the mexican school system (which Is SHIT) and I have been successful. The job that he does Is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Man you're such a great teacher! Any time you you feel like uploading more stuff please do... I've done corrections on my approach and made improvements in my classes thanks to you... so thank you a lot!
Thank you for your videos. They've been helpful to me as someone who went to "teacher school" instead of going the traditional route which would have included internships.
WOW ,I'm really inspired, i really like your way of managing your students, hope you will upload more videos so that i can learn more, i'll be graduating soon, can't wait to apply what I've learned from you Sir, God Speed
You are an amazing teacher! All the negative comments are from people are are jealous of how successful you've been as an educator at getting results and respect from your students. Ignore the haters! Continue to believe in your ability to push and inspire your students to achieve what many have said is impossible for them to attain. Although the injustice in our education system may not vanish, you can make a difference in the lives of those kids that you see everyday. For many, you are the first person who have ever believed in them and that makes a world of difference in the outcome of their lives. You get a glitter ✨ pound 👊🏾 from me Mr. Hester. If only many teachers were like you!! Best wishes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You're such a great teacher!. Thank You for sharing your experience you inspire me ^_^. PS: - the video capturing and producing are very good. - the sound Quality is good (most of the Time).
Hi ... I have plan becomes a teacher after graduated. Thank you so much. Your video really help me to prepare myself become a good teacher. Waiting forward for your next tips... :)
I am very inspired for your quest for quality assurance in the sector . It is just said that you no longer post items here . I hope you come on soon . Gift from Nigeria (West Africa)
Watch his other videos in classroom management. Mr Hester is by far the best teacher ever. So amazingly brilliant. I've learned so much from those three videos
goj0hnny thank you. I did watch them a long time ago and I'm using a lot of Mr Webster methods with my 6th graders. I just would like more details on the reward program.
These are really good techniques. Thanks a lot for uploading them. Only thing is, I only see well behaved students doing as you say and not resisting. There are cases when no matter what you tell them they get back to misbehaving 10 minutes later. Any suggestions? BTW You have a great and professional vibe. Congratz from Madrid.
Hello Mr. Hster, My name is Barbara Jackson. I live in New Zealand in small town of Huntly. I am doing study for my self. I buy my textbooks. I m doing all sorts of subjects like English, Social Studies and Creative Writing and a homework textbook. I study from home. I have downloaded some learning in the classroom with students and there are a few of them. From Barbara Jackson.
What if happens something like this: i start to use this clapping techniques to keep the class quiet, but one of the children on purpose clap not this rythm or after everybody finifshed clapping
Is there any way I can get the quotes of the day? I'm a sub and trying to get as many things as I can get for my rooms but obviously most things I can't do but I think the quote of the day is a great way to make the classroom my own each time.
Amazing!! I'm an english teacher in Brazil, english ESL learners. I was wondering if you could send me those forms...I know this video is from 2014, but they could really help me w/ time management. Thanks!
Like others here I'd like to have the forms for the slips. But like others I can't write an e-mail, because there is no mail adress and I can't contact the youtube profile, too.
I watched all his vids.Live classroom was Great,I havent been in school for a while now but hes different,the clapping and stomping.S/times treats them like 2nd grade.But strict is good,Question why cant students have water,you do,I know you talk and need H20 but the kids should beable to have H20 while you are drinking in front of them???Please make more,these are old and only a few,Thanks.....
Hola Tyler, I am in my last part of the credential program at SSU, Sonoma County, CA . The next 25 weeks will be my student teaching planning curriculum and lesson planning. These classroom management videos have inspired me to create the tone on the first day back to school in Jan. I have to video myself for a period of time and Im terrified! Any advice?
i wish you upload more videos. i have question for you Mr. Hester. in the USA, generally or in your school, specifically, who pays for the school supplies you have in your classroom? is it paid the government or something else?
Supplies like projectors, document cameras, desks, etc...are provided by the district. Everything else is usually provided by the teacher. Some districts give teachers a stipend at the beginning of the year to purchase supplies, but it is definitely not much. My school gives every teacher $200. Supplies that everyone uses such as pencils, markers, kleenex etc...I have students bring in.
As a student who is easily distracted and has had teachers in the past that fill up their class with papers and photos, this is what I will say. Eventually, you get used to it. Yes, the first day of school can be overwhelming but soon you get used to your surroundings. The best part was going to those teachers class during lunch and just walk around and read everything in the wall. It also shows personality. I've had high school teachers in the past that literally had nothing up in the wall and it felt like a prison. This is the first time watching his class so it feels like he has too much up in the wall but it looks pretty normal. Like I said, I've had teachers in the past that have every single inch of wall covered with stuff and you get used to it.
I'm going to ask a really dumb question but one I've wondered about since I first saw your videos years ago! I know you expect complete silence when doing an activity. But there was one instance (I'm blanking on exactly what it was) where the student wasn't silent but it was in that grey area where I could see both sides. If a student sneezes or coughs, I'm assuming that's allowed even if it's supposed to be silent. I mean, that would be a given! But what about the student who, because it's total habit (and, actually kind of polite) instinctively, but quietly, says, "Bless you"? Is that against the rules as well? I would have been in trouble, I suppose. Because that wouldn't be something I thought about but would just be an instinctive response. I was always the really quiet, never-did-anything-against-the-rules student otherwise.
the last video you have uploaded for 4 years. That's was really dissapointed to see that when I tried to check your recently posted videos. 😣😣 please come back and do helpful teaching tips 🌸🌸
Actually I'm an indian student of class -9 but having a very strong aspiration to become a cardiologist and practice in the US .really sir if I would have taken birth in US .then I shall have come to your class only...
Is this a school for troubled children? Or like a last-chance school? Because otherwise I'd have gone insane if I was in his class. Maybe things have changed a bunch and I'm just so old I don't get it? But I'm 38; not a teacher but I did some student teaching & FTA in HS.
I'm 51, with a minute-by-minute memory of growing up. If teachers had tried to micromanage our class time with this level of pissant granular detail, we would've burned the fucking school down.
I'd really like to appreciate the videos and information you're sharing on media, that's really awesome.I'm about to kick start the school year, and unfortunately I reached your videos very late, but still you're making me a great help, being a great mentor.I have one question so far, is there any reason behind choosing PUMA for nominating the students or it's just a given name?Thank you very much
I know this is old but I couldn't really understand the positive call request slips- do they use raffle tickets for merits OR books OR positive calls or can they double up? or tier up towards them? Do they have to make a choice between them. I'd love to do more positive calls. Loving all your videos and so glad I found them.
Hey Reef. It seems like students are given the tickets based on desired behavior and the kids spend the tickets like cash. A call home is worth 2, merit is worth 3 and a book is worth 4. So the kids save up and decide how to use the tickets

Hi Mr. Hester, Really loved your video. Very very helpful for all new and old teachers. Could you please send me the lovely quotes you have and whatever other helpful teaching aids you got which can help me in teaching. Couldn't find your E-mail. Thanks a lot dear. May God bless you
There's a lot of hate for a guy who is trying to help. I appreciate your efforts Mr. Hester.
correction. soon it will be Dr. Hester. He's in a Doctoral program at Harvard.
There's not that much hate in these comments, but if you go looking for it... just ignore it. I agree with you, Mr. Hester is doing great. Love watching his classes.
Super helpful ! You are a very great teacher! I almost cried when you told the kids you have binders for students who can't afford them. Truly amazing. Thank you for not only being a great teacher but being committed to educating children the RIGHT way !! Kudos !!
Mr. Hester, I am an attorney who changed careers to become a high school social studies teacher and am currently doing everything I can to get better at classroom management as I seek my first permanent teaching position. I'll just say that I've watched a few of your videos on the subject and MAN, there is a lot we rookies can learn from you. So thanks for posting and keep being the awesome teacher that you are for your students!!!
Are you still teaching? I can’t imagine why anyone would go from being a lawyer to a public school teacher.
@@John-om3dx I teach K - 5 reading privately. Why can't you imagine why anyone would go from being a lawyer to a public school teacher?
@@bz3105 because the pay is awful and you’ve already gone through law school and passed the bar.
@@John-om3dx It is true that many teachers are drastically underpaid but that's not always the case. In the Chicago area where I live, for example, teachers can and often do make over $100,000 per year.

Greetings from Azerbaijan. I want to learn how many students must be in class that teachers manage it well? Thanks
I want to hear more about the personal dictionary! Please!
Google User Do you figure out what is the meaning of (puma of the week) mentioned in the video ??
It’s an overwhelming amount of things in that classroom. Are they beneficial or efficient ?
Is there any way I can get the quotes of the day? I'm a sub and trying to get as many things as I can get for my rooms but obviously most things I can't do but I think the quote of the day is a great way to make the classroom my own each time.

Like others here I'd like to have the forms for the slips. But like others I can't write an e-mail, because there is no mail adress and I can't contact the youtube profile, too.

Stumbled across your channel at random. I notice you haven't posted anything in 4 years. What happened? Are you still teaching?
sedona03 he is no longer teaching. He became a consulting teacher with TFA and now he’s a doctoral candidate.
Anyone know if there's another Hester-like teacher that does math?
Hola Tyler,
I am in my last part of the credential program at SSU, Sonoma County, CA . The next 25 weeks will be my student teaching planning curriculum and lesson planning. These classroom management videos have inspired me to create the tone on the first day back to school in Jan. I have to video myself for a period of time and Im terrified! Any advice?
i wish you upload more videos. i have question for you Mr. Hester. in the USA, generally or in your school, specifically, who pays for the school supplies you have in your classroom? is it paid the government or something else?
Supplies like projectors, document cameras, desks, etc...are provided by the district. Everything else is usually provided by the teacher. Some districts give teachers a stipend at the beginning of the year to purchase supplies, but it is definitely not much. My school gives every teacher $200. Supplies that everyone uses such as pencils, markers, kleenex etc...I have students bring in.
Can you give some ideas of how to accumulate books for a classroom library please?
Red Deer Check out your local public library book sales. :0)
I liked everything but too much papers on the walls. as a student i Will lose my concentration
As a student who is easily distracted and has had teachers in the past that fill up their class with papers and photos, this is what I will say. Eventually, you get used to it. Yes, the first day of school can be overwhelming but soon you get used to your surroundings. The best part was going to those teachers class during lunch and just walk around and read everything in the wall. It also shows personality. I've had high school teachers in the past that literally had nothing up in the wall and it felt like a prison. This is the first time watching his class so it feels like he has too much up in the wall but it looks pretty normal. Like I said, I've had teachers in the past that have every single inch of wall covered with stuff and you get used to it.
Same thing I said
I'm going to ask a really dumb question but one I've wondered about since I first saw your videos years ago! I know you expect complete silence when doing an activity. But there was one instance (I'm blanking on exactly what it was) where the student wasn't silent but it was in that grey area where I could see both sides. If a student sneezes or coughs, I'm assuming that's allowed even if it's supposed to be silent. I mean, that would be a given! But what about the student who, because it's total habit (and, actually kind of polite) instinctively, but quietly, says, "Bless you"? Is that against the rules as well? I would have been in trouble, I suppose. Because that wouldn't be something I thought about but would just be an instinctive response. I was always the really quiet, never-did-anything-against-the-rules student otherwise.
the last video you have uploaded for 4 years. That's was really dissapointed to see that when I tried to check your recently posted videos. 😣😣 please come back and do helpful teaching tips 🌸🌸
Actually I'm an indian student of class -9 but having a very strong aspiration to become a cardiologist and practice in the US .really sir if I would have taken birth in US .then I shall have come to your class only...
I’m currently doing the Teach for America for would love your material for Sentence starters. I’m middle Grade Language Arts
I'm having trouble starting up a class library, how did you get yours?
Hello more videos of your classroom please
Your email sir, to receive your forms. Is there any charge for that??
This is so great!
Is this a school for troubled children? Or like a last-chance school? Because otherwise I'd have gone insane if I was in his class. Maybe things have changed a bunch and I'm just so old I don't get it? But I'm 38; not a teacher but I did some student teaching & FTA in HS.
I'm 51, with a minute-by-minute memory of growing up. If teachers had tried to micromanage our class time with this level of pissant granular detail, we would've burned the fucking school down.
Kids have changed. This level of control is necessary in almost all schools in the US now.
I'd really like to appreciate the videos and information you're sharing on media, that's really awesome.I'm about to kick start the school year, and unfortunately I reached your videos very late, but still you're making me a great help, being a great mentor.I have one question so far, is there any reason behind choosing PUMA for nominating the students or it's just a given name?Thank you very much
I know this is old but I couldn't really understand the positive call request slips- do they use raffle tickets for merits OR books OR positive calls or can they double up? or tier up towards them? Do they have to make a choice between them. I'd love to do more positive calls. Loving all your videos and so glad I found them.
Hey Reef. It seems like students are given the tickets based on desired behavior and the kids spend the tickets like cash. A call home is worth 2, merit is worth 3 and a book is worth 4. So the kids save up and decide how to use the tickets
This is very helpful bro thank you
I love your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice teacher....
Hello! Where can I find his email address? I want to ask the books question...
