I second that 💕
I'd love to see a video on some teacher interview outfit ideas! I think it would be so fun to see how to dress professionally while still incorporating some fun colors or patterns to show your personality.
For sure!!!
When you go into an interview, remember: you have nothing to prove, only to share 💛
Yes yes yes
@@fivefootoneteacher I want to say it was Sierra Boggess who I first heard that quote from, I'm not sure if she said it originally
Last year, I commented on one of Brittany’s videos and said that I had interviewed at a small private school. Y’all were all so nice! But I didn’t get the job. Or ANY teaching job last year. It was ROUGH. BUT, I decided to try again this year with a different school and district. Well, this week, I interviewed with another school. And I got the job! I will be teaching fifth grade in the fall! I’m so excited and would love your prayers, guys!
Z S thank you SO much!
AH CONGRATS!!!!!!!! 💛💛💛

Brit, you are GLOWING. I've followed you throughout your entire TH-cam journey and you are just so inspiring! You have inspired me to take care of myself and you have taught me how to practice self-care like I deserve for myself. This video was so beautifully done. You look happy, you look beautiful and everything else in between. This video provided me with great information for me as a future educator to know about! Thank you for everything that you do! You're amazing. 💕

This was so helpful! I am so happy that you are getting back in the classroom. I am currently in the midst of taking test for my teachers credentials and I am scareddddd! Your videos have been such a comfort for me these past couple years!
Oh trust me... I was the same way. Just know you’re worth so much more than that test. You will pass and overcome it!
Making a mental note to rewatch this video in 2 years when I graduate from college! You are so helpful!💛
So sweet!

Thank you so much! Excited for you!
I am so excited for your teaching journey!
thank you so much!!
Hey Brit! I am so thankful for your videos. Especially this one comes at a perfect time. Watching your videos, I always feel like having a chat with you and it kind of calms me. The last few days were especially hard and I was struggling to keep my energy up for my students and to engage with them. Sitting down and listening to you took my thoughts of the subject I was thinking about (which was a video everyone shared on social media including triggering content - in the end this triggered me and I felt like being in a dark place again). But yeah, thanks for this video again and I just wanted to tell you that what you are doing is so incredibly great! All the best 🌻
I’m sending you love, I know that’s hard. I just like to shut down my phone when that happens and try to do something that calms me. I’m happy this video could be here for you!
Thank you so much for this. I am going into student teaching next semester and I've been so nervous about the future and what school will best fit me as a person and an educator. You are very inspiring and admirable. I needed this boost of confidence and energy.
Of course! Best of luck with student teaching. You will be amazing!
Thank you for walking through and sharing your portfolio! This was helpful!
Yay thank you!
First one!
I love you , you are amazing! ❤️
ily!
I have been watching you for quite awhile now, since before I student taught! I am now wrapping up on my first year of teaching...which ended up being pretty crazy and unexpected (nothing like I imagined my first year) with COVID-19. I teach 9-12 High School English. I have a feeling someday I'll be in middle school, as well, but for now, I feel my calling is with my current of students. It's so, so amazing to see you back in education again! You have overcome so much and are so so strong. I'm so happy for you. 💕
I’m sure it has been such a weird time. So excited for your journey!! You’re amazing
love love love your channel and so proud of your journey! I am a double major in elementary and special education and can not wait to become a teacher!
thanks so so much! that's amazing!
As a college student nearing some placements this coming school year, I am so excited to you are always helping us baby teachers. Keep sharing your experiences because they are super helpful. I want to teach English so anything you post is such inspo. You mentioned about how to lesson planning for new books this summer and I think it is such a cool idea!
Ah thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I recently graduated and started my job hunt for my first teaching job. Thankful for the helpful tips and to hear from an experienced teacher! :)
Excited for you!
I'm thinking about becoming an English teacher and I'm still in high school so I often question my choice. You're such an inspiration and everytime I watch something of yours, I'm once again reassured that I really want this. So thank you and I wish you all the best💛💛
Aww excited for you, thank you!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS MUCH NEEDED VIDEO 🙌🏻
Anytime!!!
Loved this video! When I watched the video where you did the lesson at the middle school I knew that you would become a middle school teacher. I work at a middle school and I love it. Middle schooler can be crazy lol but they truly make me love my job. When I'm down their funny jokes and personalities lift me up! You will be a great middle school teacher.
That means so much! Thank you so much and I’m so glad to hear that you enjoy middle school

I’m so so happy you’re going back to the classroom! You’re such an inspiration and your videos are so helpful! I just accepted my first teaching job and my mind is going a mile a minute trying to figure out what to do this summer to prepare. Could you possibly do a video on preparing for tour first year or a new school or just any tips on what to collect and have ready for when school starts up?
Thank you so much and yes for sure!
Thank you SO much for this video!!! As a college student and future teacher I really appreciate it

I’m an elementary education major and my passion is what motivates me. I love putting all of me into my teaching. Classroom transformations is a key to my teaching style and I love putting smiles on my student’s faces. My passion and my purpose is to serve my students and create a place for them to be safe and loved.
Love that!
I would love to see all your planning for next year!
For sure!
Your timing is perfect, I was literally working on my teaching portfolio today :)
that is amazing!
I love when that timing stuff happens =)
When I first clicked on your video I thought, “She looks so cute!” It’s wild how we have certain ideas about our “flaws” that other people never notice or think twice about. You’re stunning! I get so excited to watch your videos because you’re pretty inspirational! I would love to see the process of you getting back into the classroom; new school clothes, back to school hauls, what you’re planning for the first week, ALL THE THINGS!! I teach 6th grade ELA and I’m so ecstatic that you’re teaching middle school ELA too! 💛
you're so sweet and that is so true!! and yes you will see ALL THE THINGS!!
Thank you for the great tips! Helpful tips for any future interviews I have 😊
Yay!
Yes, we would like to go along with you on the rest of your journey ( what you're reading, planning and buying etc)💛💛💛💛💛
yay!
Amei o vídeo. Você é uma inspiração 💛💛💛 Thank you 🌻
💛💛💛
your skin and makeup looks sooo glowy and beautiful here :)
Thank you!
I love your channel and teaching videos. I just recently ended my 2nd year of college, and my major is early childhood education. I hope to be a preschool teacher. I aspire to be as positive as you are and as passionate as you are with the children that you teach. I would’ve loved to have you as my teacher when I was in middle school/high school! I also think you’d make a great elementary school teacher... Any grade level is lucky to have your caring personality. So happy for you ❤️
Congratulations on your second year, that is amazing!!! Thank you!!!
When will you start showing us how you’re gonna decorate/set up? I’m a first year and need allllll the inspo!!
Congrats! That’s not really a priority right now as we don’t even know if we will be starting virtual or not, but once I know, I’ll update you!
I loved this video! I’m going into my senior year at college and soon will be graduating as an Elementary Education Major and this was so helpful!
Aww thanks! Have the best senior year!
So helpful!! Thank you for this!! I'm about to be a sophomore in college studying English ED and I LOVE your videos!! I am taking my first education class that requires field work next semester and I'm SO excited!!
ah so excited for you!
My dream school and I sent up my first interview with an hours notice, and I got the job during the first interview. Just show up being yourself. They don’t need a robot with perfect make up and the perfect portfolio, they need people who can be passionate about their students ❤️
Amen!
So excited for you!
YAS!!! Loved this! I feel like the question of "why do you want to be a teacher" is SO underrated. Like, the why is so important. That's the first question I would ask a candidate if I was an administrator! Thank you for shining your light on us as always ❤🤗
Right!!! Usually the first question!!! Love you!
Your why is everything!!!
Just graduated three days ago and this video is everything I needed. SO nervous about getting a job in this economy/if my first year of teaching will be digital.. but this video helped me feel less anxious. THANK YOU BRITT
You've got this. Day by day!
I’d love to see pre year planning videos!
