History has always been my favorite subject, every teacher and professor I’ve had made me loveeeeee it ! I was a nursing major (3.8) I just switched my major to African American history/social studies education 7-12 . I’m so excited to actually do something I’m passionate about
Funny you say that. I was thinking about going into medical. But it’s been really hard as of late. I have a deep passionate intrest in history aswell so I think I would be passionate about this.
This is so funny. I’m currently switching to a history degree from nursing. I am so excited to study something I am passionate about aswell. Hope you’re enjoying it!
I really loved this video. I was shocked when I realized people hate Social Studies . I teach Civics, Social Justice and World History and I have made it my mission to decolonize Civic and Historical education . One of the things that has help with this is to teach backwards. I start with the current times and work my way backwards . This has been transformative. My kids have really increased their understanding of conflicts and built empathy and compassion for other marginalized groups .
You are destroying the nation and brainwashing children to hate the principles that has sustained the nation that has provided you a decent quality of life.
I wanna become a history teacher for HS. History means everything to me. Family, US, World, Medieval so one so forth. First year of college is up coming so I’m a long ways to go pray for me or wish me luck!
I love this collab! I will (hopefully) be finished with my History Degree this December then pursuing Teachers Program here in Texas. You ladies get me super excited!!
I'm starting my undergraduate degree for Secondary education in Social Studies next year and this really helped me and inspired me!! These are such great tips, thanks so much for the great content! :)
Back to the primary stage ,my history teacher 👩🏫 was always asking me to give explanations about the topics to the whole class coz I was narrating it as if I was living in the society at that moment 🙈💕💕💕
Thanks for the great video! I majored in history but didn’t take any education credits because I was double majoring and felt like I needed to get out of school before racking up more loans. I’ve always wanted to be a history teacher and I’m now looking into going back for a license or getting a provisional one if a school will hire me :) I share the same sentiment I always loved! history class. I am shocked when people say how boring it was but I realize like you say, maybe they were just learning facts and dates and not really getting into the past. I’ve always liked to learn as much as I can about my favorite things and I felt like majoring in history allowed me geek out all the time.. I loved my college experience as a history nerd. Thanks for inspiring me to accomplish my goal take care!
Hi I’m 17 and am going to be a senior this year for my high school! I want to go to college to become a History teacher because I LOVE history!!!! Anyway I was wondering if you could do a video on what’s best to deal with student when they misbehave/don’t respect you? Also your very beautiful!
I have loved history since 6th grade (i am going into 11th. I have loved both of my history teachers (plus a student teacher I had). they were huge helps and inspired me on wanting to go into teaching history.
Love it! I'm not going to be a history teacher but the principal still applies! Make my subject fun, interactive, and relevant, never stop learning and being up to date with my content was what I took away from this. Loved this video. Very important for anyone! As you said being a history teaches has a stigma about it. Same with my subject. So this can go for any subject that has a... stereotypical resented look to it! Thank you so much for this!
I taught social studies for approximately three years, what I understand from today's children, don't be too careless or stiff, look for what is happening at the moment whether starting from trends or news, then combine it with the material you will teach as best you can perhaps, always connected to their preferences but firm and fun. the latter always prioritizes what students need now, not what you need. sometimes they don't care about our expertise, but it's how we convey it that they hear.
Thanks for the video. I am not a teacher, but I would have loved to have you as a teacher. The great thing is; I'm from Belgium, but the best history teacher I ever had was an American too. He was the best and used many methods you just quoted. My history teachers when I was in middle and high school just bored me to death... (and I always loved history, I'm a medieval reenactor when that stupid virus doesn't prevent gatherings or feasts). When I was at school all had to be learned by heart and she spoke with that droning voice... aaargh! Your way of explaining and having kids remember is waaaaaay better. Thank you
I love history when they are being delivered in story form and engaging, but with my experience in schools since I was a kid made me hate History to the point I rather learn Math than have to memorize everything in the textbook to take the exam.
My school is the same way, as they only offer majors and concentrations rather than specifically targeting what you’ll be teaching while in udergrad. I was a history major but I switched to Lib. Studies concentrating in Elementary Ed. while still minoring in history. Always wanted to teach history, but lately I’m interested in Special Ed!
Hi Amanda! I am watching you from the UK and I love your videos! I am an early career History and English teacher and wondered if you would do a video on interesting ways to deliver new content to students? I find myself falling back on lots of teacher talking/referring to presentations etc. I want to mix it up and put more of the onus onto the kids. Tips welcome! Xx
Hey Amanda! This is extremely helpful! I am currently getting my bachelors in secondary History education. I find it very hard to retain all this information with lots of details. As a teacher how do you retain all this information. I'm afraid i won't know enough content to be an afficent teacher.
Hi! I completely understand that feeling. For a long time i felt inadequate compared to so many of my coworkers and people who have been teaching for so many years! I would say start small. Whatever is the first unit you are teaching, try and gain as much knowledge about that unit at that one time. You're not Google and definitely you cannot expect yourself to be lol. One Unit at a time. AND students will ask questions, its ok to go to the comp and look up the answer, and with time you will remember the questions students ask and you will slowly become more and more prepared. It's ok to have post-it notes of specific dates or events written down next to you. You are there to teach...not just teach content...but teach students how to analyze, sort through texts. The content is one important aspect of being a teacher but its not the entire thing. You will be ok! Learn additional info in chunks when you are teaching units. That would be my "step 1" of advice. Hope this helps!
These ideas are all so amazing, I love them! However, teaching 7th grade social studies on a very tight curriculum pacing calendar doesn't allow for basically ANY of this and I ABSOLUTELY HATE that for my students!!
I have a BBA in Management…. but I’ve become clear that I want to be a history teacher. What steps should I take to get qualified and connected to become a teacher?
Let your school district know that you’re interested in teaching and that you have a bachelors; they may be able to guide you through an alternative licensing program to get your teaching license.
omg I have a fun idea if I was a history teacher I would "dress up" as the main charater in every new topic. My student would walk in to seeing "George Washington" standing in the head of the class I would use first perspective when "George Washington" is speaking I would use examples following the words "I, me, myself" ect. And maybe even dress the class room in different eras/time periods to help them " feel" like they are there. Just tonight I have decided I might go back to school to be a history/ mythology teacher. I'm browsing videos research to learn and gather information to make absolutely sure this is something I want. Thank you so much xx.
Hi! Yes, I really like website for inspo, It's meant for 7th grade but you can download it and modify it for your grade level. classroomlaw.org/resources/mock_trial_strategies/
I really wanna be a history teacher when I grow up I love learning and talking about Canadian history and it doesn't pay the best but all that matters is I'll be enjoying life and loving my job
Love your video, Quick question, I recently graduated eight months ago from University with a degree in history and specialized in European history. Do I necessarily have to take the cset exam? if I want to teach eighth grade social studies? I think there's some kind of competency test I can take instead.
Hi, I noticed your comment and thought I'd suggest American Destiny by Mark Carnes and John Garratty. When I taught at the University for 6 years it was the text I used for my students. Very thorough. Supplement with "For the Record: A Documentary History of America" and those should help a lot😉
you can choose to have your salary given to you over the school year or the entire year. you’d still come out with the same amount, it’s just up to you if you want to have smaller checks over the year so you still get paid over summer
Hey Noah, best thing for you would probably be to major in history with a minor in education or vice versa. Some states require that you actually major in your field of study so know your state! Also you get a lot more subject based content when you major in history. There’s benefits to both but make sure you talk to your current/future college advisors and current teachers. Cheers!

Sounds like you’re brainwashing kids disgusting...
@@jwhancock7083 exactly what I was about to say that’s not cool.
You are destroying the nation and brainwashing children to hate the principles that has sustained the nation that has provided you a decent quality of life.
@@jwhancock7083 No they're not? They're introducing a new kind of perspective of history not only through the eyes of a white man (:
I ❤️ US History! Love European history & obsessed with living & traveling there, but I ❤️ US History the most.
Try studying Indian history as well ... Its amazing
Same
I am nodding and clapping after every single sentence of this video! 😂 I’m so glad we got to collab-I wish we could be history teacher coworkers!
Ha!I felt the same way with your video!

Would you like to recommend any good history book for the ones who want to learn overall world history. Thanks.
Of of them imo: Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes by Tamim Anshary

Good information about teaching in history, thank you, my name is SHYAMSUNDAR from visakhapatnam, State of ap, INDIA.(PhD scholar in history).
History is the best! Are you a Ravenclaw? You should read the book 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Great psych and history book
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a good resource for mock trials in U.S. history?

Hi everyone can i have ur suggestions of what activities do you think that are connected to history
Do the teachers get paid during the summer ? I lowkey want to teach
you can choose to have your salary given to you over the school year or the entire year. you’d still come out with the same amount, it’s just up to you if you want to have smaller checks over the year so you still get paid over summer
Hi does anyone know what to study to pass the cst social studies teacher exam ?
Do you have any good resources to find mock trials or jury duties?
im not one but my deram job is history
hey, what degrees did you get to be a highschool history teacher ?
Hey Noah, best thing for you would probably be to major in history with a minor in education or vice versa. Some states require that you actually major in your field of study so know your state! Also you get a lot more subject based content when you major in history. There’s benefits to both but make sure you talk to your current/future college advisors and current teachers. Cheers!
I come from an Amish mennonite family, and i want to teach history..
Can u give me advice.
what grade do you teach?
I thought female history teachers didnt exist😂
I’m sure as hell happy I didn’t have you as a history teacher. I would be soft and weak like most kids these days.
Everything happens for a reason. Thanks for your unnecessary comment.
