I am a teacher of 19 years, and I can tell you that bonding and getting your students trust is very important. You can teach until you are blue in the face. A child has to want to learn, and by doing this is by having some fun and forming good relationships with each of them.

I find that if the teachers connect with the students, joking around a little bit, it helps. The teacher shouldn't be seen as just a teacher, but also a friend and helper. I'm in middle school currently, and my English and Science teachers have teacher Instagrams. Really fun.

[@PhilSandersonAuthor]

This is a great dream you have, young lady. What I like so much about it is that it is very realistic and very achievable. Don't let anyone detract you from it. Before you graduate, you will encounter good teachers and bad teachers. Learn from both. Learn how to BE from the good ones and how NOT TO BE from the bad ones. And never let the bad ones sour your dream. In the meantime, keep a clean record. Any bad deeds could ruin that dream for you.. Keep a good heart and always love children. I'm not a teacher yet, but as soon as I get my own opportunity, I plan to be one of the best. And you should too. God bless you! And Happy Thanksgiving!

[@mylesblanton77]

I'm 13 and i want to be a teacher too! I am struggling vocalizing my dream though as I am scared that people are going to say I cant do it. I do really have an itch to do it though and I want to reflect on the amazing and not so amazing teachers I have now and how they make me feel and help me with the things i am struggling with. That way i can be an amazing teacher later in life. I have so many inspirational teachers in my life now and online to help me on my journey though!

This is the 9th month of my First Year as a High School Teacher and I actually sort of teared up watching this vid because it's really like really true. It's indeed a struggle! It's survival. It's always a TEST, your skills, your competence, your effort so you push yourself to the best of your abilities everyday, your confidence, your strength as a person. The pressure is on to prove yourself to your kids whom you really care about and love and to the admins who will smile at you on your first week and after that ignores you on the hallway and you go thinking am I awful on observations? am I stupid? It's a lot to take in. I was super stressed. I'm crying a lot, I'm crying so much because I feel really bad on most days. It's failure left and right It's so hard to pick up yourself. But you know what, I am a teacher, everything is a process. I'm going to be better, I'm going to improve, MY SECOND YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE MY FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE MOLDED ME TO BE BETTER. Just patience, grit, intelligence and trust, we will get there. I swear!

Thankfully, my program has practicum teaching placements every single year, so we bank a few years of teaching experience before actually landing a full time job. I think I get a little overwhelmed when I think of all the content and resources I need to accumulate to get through an entire year! Blows my mind how much stuff some teachers keep on hand - and most of it is useful! Any tips on how to get your hands on anything and everything? Also, I'm not sure if its the same everywhere, but I hear many teachers end up spending a ton of their own money to buy various resources for their classroom, any tips/feedback on that?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Hey Emma! Sorry so late! Don't worry about 'collecting' everything right away. You will accumulate items as you go along. I started picking up items in college and haven't really stopped. Yes, you will probably spend some of your own money. But you make the determination on how much you are comfortable spending. Spending a ton of your own money will NOT make you a better teacher. Check out garage sales and craigslist for books or items you 'need' for your room. Have fun with it and focus on who you want to be as a teacher, not what your room will have in it. Good luck!

I'm not sure I wholly agree with "don't let the administration see you're stressed". If things are excessively hard, administrators should know. Putting on a brace face just to look good for superiors? Maybe that's "playing the game" but, for me at least, it just feels so inauthentic. It also means that the admin team might be thinking things are running smoother then they are, so now they're working off a false sense of what's going well or not well. Just my two cents.

For tip #1 (small groups) do you cover all subjects in small groups or just literacy? Do you do small groups throughout the day or have a certain time in the day blocked off for small groups?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Vanessa Baker Yes. I pull small groups all day long. I pull my groups as I see fit. In between small groups I also have individual conferences with students. My groups incorporate all skills taught in the classroom, so during reading I focus on reading, phonics, and phonemic awareness with some science and social studies in there since I integrate a lot of what we are learning.

I know you talked about behaviour management but what do I do if no matter what type of apporach I used the students still dont respect me?

[@Reebom-wv7ob]

Thank you so so much, next week I'll have a chance to apply for a teaching job and I'm really lost 😂 you really helped me I wrote your tips down 😍👌🏻 thank you again 💕💕.

Behaviour management really freaks me out because I'm such a pushover. Any advice? (I'm studying to become a teacher to 5-8 year olds and this point is just making me question it all.)

[@baybeetinax3]
