This was so inspiring. It's been so difficult trying to find my own style and worrying about if I was doing things right. When you said "[the students] have been waiting for you" I cried a little. Thank you for this beautiful video.
I needed this. I’m currently student teaching now and today was a tough day. I wanted to quit so bad until I ran across your video. Thank you for being so positive! ❤️
Thank you for your positivity! I just had a bad day in my student teaching and cried in front of my students. Your videos always help me get through tough weeks when I feel teaching isn't for me or when I dont feel like I'm a good teacher. Keep spreading your positivity, God bless ❤ P.S. Can you make video on classroom management and how to deal with discipline issues?
I loved this!!! I am a senior in high school applying to college to be an elementary education major. My heart lives in education and I am so excited and nervous for it all. I loved hearing about your experiences and just keeping it real!
“You’re nervous because you’re excited.” I couldn’t help but cry at this because I start my student teaching in January, but I have been teaching warm ups since I was a junior. They are so many days I question my self worth as a teacher and I wonder if I am worthy to be teacher. I am so very excited for student teaching, but I am nervous as well. Thank you so much for this video and the reminder that they are student waiting for me!
having heard your story as student teacher made me realize the guilt inside me when i was one of the intern. I was a working student then, making my student teaching experience the most horrible part of my study. I could have learn more and explored the real thing in teaching but i didn't. now i'm a public school teacher for six years already and i am still in finding myself how to love teaching. Because of your story, i am more motivation to keep myself away from giving up. i have to build my passion and experience it with my pupils. hope to watch more inspiring insights about your thoughts in our profession and shed light upon the misconception of teaching. Thanks Brittany. God Bless all your work. Keep moving.
I'm a first year 9th grade English teacher and this hit home! I 100% agree with everything you said. This made me cry and reminds me how thankful I am for this job and how much I adore my students!
I am scared right now. I am starting my student teaching next year and I am nervous about it. This video made me cry because I am really doubting myself right now and it just feels good to know that other people can relate and understand what I am currently feeling. Thank you for making this video.
OMG!!! I'm so glad your video popped up because I'm starting student teaching in the spring of next year, and I'm very nervous, but you made me feel better. I know I will succeed.
Thank you for being so encouraging! I just started student teaching in August and it has been so difficult! With the pandemic, no one really knows what to do, so my mentor teacher and the rest of our team has been winging it daily. We transitioned half of our students from virtual to in-person last week.They are the best part of my day! Even though I have been at it for a month, I feel like I am failing because there is no structure, and I do not know how I can be of more help for my mentor teacher. Everyday is a new challenge, and I have college classes and work ontop of it. If this is what the rest of the year will be like (I am student teaching for a full year in the same palcement), I don't know how I will get through it.
I'm literally watching this as I finished my first student teaching block. And I can agree 100000% with everything you said. Im going through a really similar experience where my teacher is a lot more traditional. In my first few weeks of observing I was constantly writing down what I saw that I didn't like and how I would personally do it differently. And that reflection part every day really pays off. Im super stoked to return for my second block in January!
Thank you so much for this. I just started my student teaching placement and it has been so overwhelming and has left me doubting myself often. Your words are so inspiring and you’ve reminded me why I’m doing this 💗 thank you 💗
You're so positive! I am just finishing up my 115 required observation hours (NY state) and I'm about to start student teaching full time while still taking master's classes at night, writing my edTPA portfolio, and taking my two cert exams. Needless to say I am incredibly stressed and burnt out...sometimes with all the red tape/state hoops to jump through it's hard to remember why I wanted to teach in the first place 😩 Thanks for spreading your light & I love when you do teacher-content videos like this! (love your self-care videos too... during this busy season of my life it's difficult for me to make myself a priority!)
Coming to this video a little late! Student teaching was great, but I definitely had my rough days. One day I went to one of my two mentor teachers and crying because of something that had happened. She was very sweet and told me that I am growing as a teacher and the fact that I was crying meant I cared. Now that i am done, it seems like such a long time ago! I wish I had asked more questions to my two teachers, but over all it was amazing!
I will be student teaching this fall, and I feel so worried because of the doubts I’ve been having. Right now I feel like I’m more nervous than excited. But after watching your video I feel more prepared to give it my best and see what happens. ❤️
I wish this was a video last year when I was student teaching! One thing I wish I did now as a first year teacher was taking notes on everything! I have a hard time remembering how I felt about different classroom management styles/different procedures that I saw. Great video and great advice!
You are so encouraging! I love seeing young teachers with this passion because it motivates me to do my best and invest in my kids to my full extent. Thank you for your videos
So excited you posted this! I’m about to transition from part-time student teaching to my last semester of full-time student teaching. I’m so excited but also very nervous!
Oh my gosh you exude sweetness. I1 stumbled across your channel because I was looking up inspiration for student teaching-- I am starting in two weeks! I am so nervous and excited!
This is such good advice ! I'm studying teaching in Australia and have placement soon and I was so nervous and doubting myself! But now I'm actually looking forward to my first placement (still scary but also excited haha!).
Brittany, thank you sooooo much for this video. I didn't know I needed it, but clearly I do because I took soooo many mental and physical notes. I start a teaching program next year where I'll be student teaching for 3 semesters, I'm so nervous but now I know that it's actually just excitement. This video felt like I was being given advice from an older sister. Again thank you Britt, I appreciate you greatly 💛
I’m in my second year teaching and I’ve been watching you since I started teaching! You’re an awesome teacher, and definitely an inspiration to me! ❤️ You have helped me to see the importance of creating relationships with students!!
Thank you for filming this video! I will begin student teaching in VA in January and am super nervous. I love watching your videos to get any tips and tricks I possibly can!
It’s weird watching your videos on the daily because I struggle a lot with school. I’ve been really sick lately, and can’t go to school. Everyone is pressuring me to get better soon to go back, making me more sick because of stress 😔
Going to New Zealand in January for my teacher education. I will be binge watching these videos again when I have my placements but I could not be more excited!
Student teacher here in Australia and I absolutely LOVE YOU. When I need motivation to keep going I watch you and I'm back on track. I'm a shorty too so I feel you! lol You are so beautiful! xxx subscribed❤
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feelings about teaching and working as a mentor, especially with kids. I had this amazing feeling as well, working as a german teacher and due to the terrible economy of our country these days, I decided to guide people for FREE to accomplish their self-study in both German and English. So if anybody needed help with their self-studies, feel free to ask me. Peace
I’m currently a senior in high school and I take a class called Ed Rising!! I start student teaching soon and I’m super excited!! I’ll be in a 4th grade class and get to teach two lessons 😁
Hey!!! I love your videos so so much, as I'm inspiring to become a high school teacher myself!!! What I really love, is to learn more about the reasons of you, that made you chose this career!!! What steps did you take in order to become a teacher? What ways of becoming a teacher are there?? Looking forward to be seeing and hearing more from you!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I am in practicum this semester (mini student teaching) and next semester I will student teach full time. I am math education so half the semester I'll be in middle school math and the other half high school math. These tips will be so helpful :)
I really liked this video. I’m 15 (almost 16) and basically have not a slightest clue on what I want to be when I “grow up”. But for a while, I was thinking of maybe being a high school teacher (specifically for dance or computer science). I don’t know for sure, but watching how the process goes really helps me and i know if I still have this feeling, I’ll come back to it in the future! I’m an active TH-camr (not on this channel though) so I guess you could say I kind of have experience with teaching and presenting to others. But I guess what really is holding me back is the fact that I am *extremely shy* . But yeah, I’ve been considering to be a teacher for a while so I’ll definitely look back at this possibly in the future if a teacher is definitely who I want to be :)
I finished student teaching in Year 1 (6 year olds) and I honestly loved it. AHAHA.. YESSSS. I asked my mentor so many questions too (I was so afraid that she'd get tired of me) and I got quite close to her too. I got to teach a starter and a lesson too. SAMEEE. I observed my mentor too and I assisted my mentor around the classroom too. I just hope I can get her as my mentor again in my final practicum in 2021 March.
Thankyou for this video! I'm currently finishing the 3rd year of my teaching degree, next year is my final year and when we do all our big placements and student teaching. Although I'm excited I'm very nervous because I feel like I haven't really learnt much about actually teaching my subjects (music and English, high school in Australia) and that I'm going to go in to the classroom expected to know how to teach but having really no idea! I've already done two placements, one week each, but they were just observation and we had no chance to actually teach anything. Hearing your experiences made me feel better about the whole thing, I hope that I get a good mentor teacher and that my placements are successful, fingers crossed!
I’ve answered some questions about this before in videos. I’m definitely not an expert, but I believe in building relationships first and having a very clear schedule/procedures in place!
@@fivefootoneteacher thank you for your time! It's my second year of teaching and I'm still trying to learn but it's been definitely a better year so far. Have a great day! Love from Greece
Hi Britt, I'm a student teacher from the Netherlands. I love your video's!! Your positivity and passion inspires me! One day I wish to be a teacher who believes in my students, just like you! ❤❤❤ This video made my day!
Omg I lowkey obsessed with your hair in this video!!! I wish you were my teacher🥺 You inspire me to be the best version of myself and I love that for us. Have a fantastic week- sending you love from the uk💛 Alex xxx
From one Brittni to another (probably spelled differently 😂) I appreciate this video so much. Thank you and God bless. Day by day I’m learning to soak in every good and bad experience as well as learn to always be prepared for my lesson. Thank you so much again!!
Thank you so much for your rawness and honesty- I really needed to hear it. I was completing my student teaching this fall and was gearing up to graduate this December, but a big, unexpected wrench was thrown in my plans. I got dismissed from student teaching on 10/31. Long story short, I wasn't progressing as fast as they were expecting and there were some miscommunication and misunderstanding between all parties involved. I've also been experiencing some health issues physically, mentally, and emotionally. This event has really discouraged me because my supervisor and principal said I didn't have the personality that fits the role of a teacher and that "teaching is a calling- you either have it or you don't." I am definitely not trying to bash them as I respect their decision, but I have been conflicted about what to do and where to go from here. I've been questioning my ability, so I have been navigating other options and careers. Receiving encouragement from your videos has inspired me to rise above the doubters and adversity. I still feel like I belong in a classroom, but I'm continuing to pray about it and the next steps that I should take
Alexis Angel I am feeling sorry for you to hear your story! I don’t think It’s either something you have or haven’t got. I think with the right coaching, most people can learn how to teach / develop the necessary skills to teach. I wonder if there’s a possibility for you to do another internship? Here in the Netherlands you complet 2-4 different internships on 2-4 different schools before graduating. This means you will also meet different mentors and assessors along the way. So you are not dependent on two people who ‘don’t think you have it’. It would be a pity if this would be the only option for you! (If you still want to teach). and remember, everyone has a talent - you just have to find yours. Good luck!
I haven't even started student teaching yet and this video made me cry. Justing think about the joruney I have been on and the one I will start next semsester student teaching. I am so scared, nervous and exicted to student teach. After watching this video I feel just a little less scared, nervous and a little more excited.
Any advice on what to wear for student teaching? I’m pretty young and like dressing young, don’t know if I have to be in slacks and all. I’ll be student teaching in middle school!
Currently watching your videos right now in hopes of motivating myself. I still have a whole year left before I begin student teaching and I have been so stressed with the exams I need to take to become certified. I'm so scared. It's crazy because this job is already difficult as it is but I know I can do it. At least I hope so. Hopefully a year from now, I can come back to this comment and let you know I made it and am graduating or student teaching.
Although it took me two years, I just finished my first week of the beginning of my student teaching semester! I’ve passed the 2/3 exams I need for my certification on my first attempt. I just wanted to say that I’ve been following you since I was in High School and you are one of the lovely people who inspired me to pursue this career, so thank you! I hope to be a teacher like you soon.
I'm not sure what to comment, but I want to say something and I definitely want to leave a comment to support, so here goes. I was 100% sure for the first seventeen years of my life that I was going to get a job as a cafe owner/manager. I was going to open my own business and make foods for people with allergies because growing up, there weren't any for me. Then I took a Spanish class as a dual-enrolled student. I really did NOT want to take that class. But, surprisingly, I ended up loving the teacher and took Spanish 2 with the same professor the next semester. I got 3 concussions that second semester, which led to brain damage that meant I could only focus for 15 minutes at a time, and due to the migraine level pain and severe anxiety I developed from that, existing was really, really painful 99.9% of the time. That .1% was any time I tutored another student in Spanish. Through the Spanish Club, Spanish 2 Student Me became a peer tutor for the Spanish 1 students, and then a study group leader for my fellow classmates. Tutoring was the only thing that didn't hurt my head in a year where absolutely everything broke my head. I was excited to take Spanish 3 the next semester. It was canceled. I was sad, but decided to try my hand at tutoring again. Turns out, it's the one thing that consistently brings me joy no matter what. Even when I'm really struggling in every area of life, tutoring is one thing I always love. None of my teachers want me to be a teacher, because they want me to have a better life than they do. One will argue that I'll never have enough money. I never cared about the money. I trust God will provide. Another will say that I'll be limiting myself to teaching if I pursue education. Maybe, yeah, but God can provide. I've seen Him do amazing things, and I know He can do anything. I don't know what my plans are, but I do know I can't wait to see God's plans for me. Cause they're a guaranteed, beautiful future. I guess this comment is just me asking for prayer, and sharing my story. Will you join me in praying about my future? And, how can I pray for you? I love you! ♡
Hi Brittany, like you I'm young, and I find I have difficulty with behavior issues. What is your best advice and what kind of behavior struggles have you seen?
I know this video is nearly a year old. But if anyone has any advice for someone who is student teaching now, in covid times. And if there is any tips on virtual teaching?
I just finished student teaching (My first placement - 2 modules into one) I advice you to observe your mentor teacher as much as you can, if it's your first placement. If it's your first placement then get your mentor's advice as much as possible.
I really needed this today. I had a rough day with one group of students. It's not behaviour, but they are struggling so hard in math. They are trying so struggle, but they just struggle with learning.
@@fivefootoneteacher Oh, we're trying. My team teachers and I had a meeting this morning and it's all subject areas. They are at least 3 grade levels behind, so we're trying to figure out where to go from here.
I’ll be doing my student teaching next fall. I’m starting to get nervous/excited about it! My fear is having a disconnect with the classroom teacher or him/her leaving me on my own the entire experience. I really hope it’s more of a co-teaching experience in which they give me more autonomy as the weeks go by. I am the type to be more than prepared for things but that is still a fear I have for my first ever teaching experience! Thank you for this video :)
Thank you so much for this video! I am about to start student teaching and have been struggling with wanting to quit. It seems like there can be so much against you when you're fighting for something! You really gave me the push I needed to know I can make it and someday have a class of my own. :)
I am currently in my last full quarter if classes with 2 intervention class and my Teacher Performance Assessment. I don't even know what week of the quarter it is, I am just trying to get through this. Next quarter is full-time student teaching and then Graduation. Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you. You keep me going
I am only a freshman in college right now, but this video really gave me motivation and inspiration ♥️ I’ve been spending the past 3 years with children of different ages and now that I’m in college, I really miss them and I’m getting emotional 😭 they’re like my kids 🥰
When you announced working with El Paso, I broke out in the biggest smile and tears. It’s been so hard on me and my family after the massacre
Very very honored to be working with them. I'm so so sorry--we are with you!
This was so inspiring. It's been so difficult trying to find my own style and worrying about if I was doing things right. When you said "[the students] have been waiting for you" I cried a little. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Aww. I totally get it! That’s what this is for. Give yourself time to grow, you’re blooming!
I needed this. I’m currently student teaching now and today was a tough day. I wanted to quit so bad until I ran across your video. Thank you for being so positive! ❤️
You inspire me every single day to work hard at university to be a good teacher 💕
You’re amazing!
Thank you for your positivity! I just had a bad day in my student teaching and cried in front of my students. Your videos always help me get through tough weeks when I feel teaching isn't for me or when I dont feel like I'm a good teacher. Keep spreading your positivity, God bless ❤
P.S. Can you make video on classroom management and how to deal with discipline issues?
Thank you for being here!
I love this video idea!

Your the best teacher ever I wish you were my teacher 🥰🥰
Not the best, but thank you!

You are seriously teacher goals. I have a “turbulent” personality and I fear what kind of educator I will be or how I will react in certain situations
Great advice for student teachers! I absolutely could not have walked into my first year teaching without practicing first. It helped me SO much.
I'm literally watching this as I finished my first student teaching block. And I can agree 100000% with everything you said.

Brittany, thank you sooooo much for this video. I didn't know I needed it, but clearly I do because I took soooo many mental and physical notes.

This video felt like I was being given advice from an older sister. Again thank you Britt, I appreciate you greatly 💛
Hey everyone! I just wanna say, have great day, I'm probably gonna be at the bottom of the comment section but I hope you have a great day!
Love this!

This video was so beneficial to me!! Thank you so much for all your advice and for sharing your experiences! 💕
My favorite video so far! I love you so much. You share the passion for education that I have and I love to see it!

Hey!!!
I love your videos so so much, as I'm inspiring to become a high school teacher myself!!!
What I really love, is to learn more about the reasons of you, that made you chose this career!!! What steps did you take in order to become a teacher? What ways of becoming a teacher are there??
Looking forward to be seeing and hearing more from you!!
Your such a precious angel . ILYSM 💞
Thank you Ashley! Ily too!
Thank you so much for posting this! I am in practicum this semester (mini student teaching) and next semester I will student teach full time. I am math education so half the semester I'll be in middle school math and the other half high school math. These tips will be so helpful :)
Aww that’s so exciting! That’s nice that you get to experience both settings
I am math ed too! I'm student teaching in January!

Although I'm excited I'm very nervous because I feel like I haven't really learnt much about actually teaching my subjects (music and English, high school in Australia) and that I'm going to go in to the classroom expected to know how to teach but having really no idea! I've already done two placements, one week each, but they were just observation and we had no chance to actually teach anything. Hearing your experiences made me feel better about the whole thing, I hope that I get a good mentor teacher and that my placements are successful, fingers crossed!
❤️❤️you’re amazing!
You are!
I can’t wait to hear another your experiences!! Some of my best times in school have occurred when my class had a student teacher ❤️
I agree! Thank you!
Five Foot One Teacher You’re welcome! I’ve always been impressed by teachers, they’re truly the backbone of society!
My lovely Brittany, please do a video about classroom management, we all need it! Students nowadays have really difficulty into staying focused :/
I’ve answered some questions about this before in videos. I’m definitely not an expert, but I believe in building relationships first and having a very clear schedule/procedures in place!
@@fivefootoneteacher thank you for your time! It's my second year of teaching and I'm still trying to learn but it's been definitely a better year so far. Have a great day! Love from Greece
Hi Britt, I'm a student teacher from the Netherlands. I love your video's!! Your positivity and passion inspires me! One day I wish to be a teacher who believes in my students, just like you! ❤❤❤ This video made my day!
Thank you so so much! So happy to hear this :)
Omg I lowkey obsessed with your hair in this video!!! I wish you were my teacher🥺 You inspire me to be the best version of myself and I love that for us. Have a fantastic week- sending you love from the uk💛 Alex xxx
Thank you so much Alex! Have a great week!
Five Foot One Teacher thank youu💕
I love all of your advice and I can’t wait to have my own classroom one day. T-201 days until graduation 🎓 👩🏻🏫
Ahhhh counting down! Enjoy every moment.
Five Foot One Teacher every moment has been so special and I can’t wait for more of those moments to come.
This video reminded me of the schools I student taught at and I miss the kids so much 💜 such a unique experience
Aww yay! Totally can relate.
This video ist so inspiring. 💗I want to become a teacher myself and you are really encouraging me in my decision.
Lots of love💫
You’ve got this! Sending the love right back to you
Your videos are so helpful! I'm a junior in high school and i want to teach secondary english in the future!
Ahhh this makes me happy to hear! That’s so exciting!
From one Brittni to another (probably spelled differently 😂) I appreciate this video so much. Thank you and God bless. Day by day I’m learning to soak in every good and bad experience as well as learn to always be prepared for my lesson. Thank you so much again!!
Thank you so much for your rawness and honesty- I really needed to hear it. I was completing my student teaching this fall and was gearing up to graduate this December, but a big, unexpected wrench was thrown in my plans. I got dismissed from student teaching on 10/31. Long story short, I wasn't progressing as fast as they were expecting and there were some miscommunication and misunderstanding between all parties involved. I've also been experiencing some health issues physically, mentally, and emotionally. This event has really discouraged me because my supervisor and principal said I didn't have the personality that fits the role of a teacher and that "teaching is a calling- you either have it or you don't." I am definitely not trying to bash them as I respect their decision, but I have been conflicted about what to do and where to go from here. I've been questioning my ability, so I have been navigating other options and careers. Receiving encouragement from your videos has inspired me to rise above the doubters and adversity. I still feel like I belong in a classroom, but I'm continuing to pray about it and the next steps that I should take
Alexis Angel I am feeling sorry for you to hear your story! I don’t think It’s either something you have or haven’t got. I think with the right coaching, most people can learn how to teach / develop the necessary skills to teach. I wonder if there’s a possibility for you to do another internship? Here in the Netherlands you complet 2-4 different internships on 2-4 different schools before graduating. This means you will also meet different mentors and assessors along the way. So you are not dependent on two people who ‘don’t think you have it’. It would be a pity if this would be the only option for you! (If you still want to teach). and remember, everyone has a talent - you just have to find yours. Good luck!
You are so beautiful both inside and out! Love your videos
Thank you for your work. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
This is so helpful! I am student teaching next semester!
Thank you! Excited for you!
I haven't even started student teaching yet and this video made me cry. Justing think about the joruney I have been on and the one I will start next semsester student teaching. I am so scared, nervous and exicted to student teach. After watching this video I feel just a little less scared, nervous and a little more excited.
you are so so beautiful and inspirational!! never stop :)
Thank you so so much!
Please do more videos like this!!!
I won’t start student teaching until Fall but I am so excited and nervous
Any advice on what to wear for student teaching? I’m pretty young and like dressing young, don’t know if I have to be in slacks and all. I’ll be student teaching in middle school!
That was excellent... thank you so very much....
Thanks, Bill!
I love this thank you!
Currently watching your videos right now in hopes of motivating myself. I still have a whole year left before I begin student teaching and I have been so stressed with the exams I need to take to become certified. I'm so scared. It's crazy because this job is already difficult as it is but I know I can do it. At least I hope so. Hopefully a year from now, I can come back to this comment and let you know I made it and am graduating or student teaching.
Although it took me two years, I just finished my first week of the beginning of my student teaching semester! I’ve passed the 2/3 exams I need for my certification on my first attempt. I just wanted to say that I’ve been following you since I was in High School and you are one of the lovely people who inspired me to pursue this career, so thank you! I hope to be a teacher like you soon.
Hey girl! You look beautiful today! Love you, you’re smart and I wanna be like you! -Jayla 💖⭐️💖
Thank you! You're perfect the way you are!
Thanks! :)
I'm not sure what to comment, but I want to say something and I definitely want to leave a comment to support, so here goes.
I was 100% sure for the first seventeen years of my life that I was going to get a job as a cafe owner/manager. I was going to open my own business and make foods for people with allergies because growing up, there weren't any for me.
Then I took a Spanish class as a dual-enrolled student. I really did NOT want to take that class. But, surprisingly, I ended up loving the teacher and took Spanish 2 with the same professor the next semester.
I got 3 concussions that second semester, which led to brain damage that meant I could only focus for 15 minutes at a time, and due to the migraine level pain and severe anxiety I developed from that, existing was really, really painful 99.9% of the time.
That .1% was any time I tutored another student in Spanish. Through the Spanish Club, Spanish 2 Student Me became a peer tutor for the Spanish 1 students, and then a study group leader for my fellow classmates.
Tutoring was the only thing that didn't hurt my head in a year where absolutely everything broke my head.
I was excited to take Spanish 3 the next semester. It was canceled. I was sad, but decided to try my hand at tutoring again. Turns out, it's the one thing that consistently brings me joy no matter what. Even when I'm really struggling in every area of life, tutoring is one thing I always love.
None of my teachers want me to be a teacher, because they want me to have a better life than they do. One will argue that I'll never have enough money. I never cared about the money. I trust God will provide. Another will say that I'll be limiting myself to teaching if I pursue education. Maybe, yeah, but God can provide. I've seen Him do amazing things, and I know He can do anything.
I don't know what my plans are, but I do know I can't wait to see God's plans for me. Cause they're a guaranteed, beautiful future.
I guess this comment is just me asking for prayer, and sharing my story. Will you join me in praying about my future? And, how can I pray for you?
I love you! ♡
You’re so strong! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I’m excited for your plan to unfold!
Hi Brittany, like you I'm young, and I find I have difficulty with behavior issues. What is your best advice and what kind of behavior struggles have you seen?
Do more school videos
I know this video is nearly a year old. But if anyone has any advice for someone who is student teaching now, in covid times. And if there is any tips on virtual teaching?
In California, you student teach after your degree and once your inside the credential program... Side note.
I’ll be student teaching next Fall! Do you have any advice on discipline in the classroom?
I just finished student teaching (My first placement - 2 modules into one) I advice you to observe your mentor teacher as much as you can, if it's your first placement. If it's your first placement then get your mentor's advice as much as possible.
Eeee, you're so beautiful, i really want to be a teacher!!!
Thank you and yay!
@@fivefootoneteacher No problem! And i also want to teach English!
When i grow up I want to be like you, Britt!
U are so positive and gorgeous. Love ur vids! (◡ ω ◡)

Five Foot One Teacher heh for me it's night it's 21:23
I love this I should show my sister this as she is studying to be a teacher she wants to teach law so yeah💛💛💛💛💛💛💞💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕💕💕
Ahhh that is amazing!
Five Foot One Teacher right she originally wanted to be a lawyer but she got scared and decided to be a person who teaches law😌😌😌😌😌😌
I really needed this today. I had a rough day with one group of students. It's not behaviour, but they are struggling so hard in math. They are trying so struggle, but they just struggle with learning.
@@fivefootoneteacher Oh, we're trying. My team teachers and I had a meeting this morning and it's all subject areas. They are at least 3 grade levels behind, so we're trying to figure out where to go from here.
I’ll be doing my student teaching next fall. I’m starting to get nervous/excited about it! My fear is having a disconnect with the classroom teacher or him/her leaving me on my own the entire experience. I really hope it’s more of a co-teaching experience in which they give me more autonomy as the weeks go by. I am the type to be more than prepared for things but that is still a fear I have for my first ever teaching experience! Thank you for this video :)
aww yay! that is so exciting that you start next fall. you can do it. take it day by day!
Thank you so much for this video! I am about to start student teaching and have been struggling with wanting to quit. It seems like there can be so much against you when you're fighting for something! You really gave me the push I needed to know I can make it and someday have a class of my own. :)
thank YOU! you can do this
I'm going on prac next year as a 19 year old...any tips, I'm very very nervous!
wow, you're going to be amazing!
I wanna be a school psychologist and I just LOVE watching your videos, even though its a different area lmao!!
that is so amazing!
I am currently in my last full quarter if classes with 2 intervention class and my Teacher Performance Assessment. I don't even know what week of the quarter it is, I am just trying to get through this. Next quarter is full-time student teaching and then Graduation. Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you. You keep me going
I am only a freshman in college right now, but this video really gave me motivation and inspiration ♥️ I’ve been spending the past 3 years with children of different ages and now that I’m in college, I really miss them and I’m getting emotional 😭 they’re like my kids 🥰
aww yay!
