IN THE TRENCHES. So true though.

[@megsarah9363]

"I learnt in that in the trenches' LITERALLY FELT THAT. Some things are all through experience, its the best way of learning and we will never be perfect! I think what I love the most about teaching is the fact that every single day I grow as a person.

[@Dino13]

I started as a substitute today for 8th grade. It was a last minute thing, as in literally I was just notified yesterday 😂. Today was wild, not gonna lie, I cried when I got home. This video made me feel so much better about the days to come. I'll definitely try your techniques, thank you!

[@brycearnett5461]

God bless you. I am a first year teacher and classroom management is definitely one of my weaknesses.

[@billiejent281]

I have been teaching middle school for 17 years and I have to say, this was a good reminder for me! I rarely have behavior issues in my class, mainly because I do follow a lot of the tips that you suggested. I have never used the post it note method, I am going to try that! I am the department chair of my school (science) and I think I am going to share this with my fellow teachers!! Awesome video!

[@jeffballard8801]

Finally a High School teacher that I can relate to. Thank you so much for your advice and videos. I have been checking a lot of teacher videos out, but unfortunately a majority on You tube are elementary. They have a lot of great advice and information, but have not found any that I can relate to until now. I will be a first year High School Social Studies teacher starting in August, and it will be a second career for me. I am so excited and yet very nervous about my first day. I recently received all of my books and other things, and it is a lot of information to soak in. Your channel has helped so much. Thank you!

[@amandaros3]

YAAAY! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! You're going to to great. Take your planning one week at a time. Once August starts approaching I am going to post a lot more videos on how to prepare for the new year. Thanks again!!!

[@MelMercado]

Jeff Ballad .. Same here, man! I love those primary teachers' contents but only few to no good for my classroom, tho really, they are great in their own respect. So yeah, finally, someone that we, secondary teachers can relate to. btw, I'm teaching 8th grade English here in the Philippines. 😊❤ Amanda, this was just your 2nd video that I watch and I am already loving 'em and you! 😊😉 Keep them coming! 👍👍

[@zacharywilson2851]

Real Raps with Reynolds is very good as well.

[@kristinbunch4741]

So true! Thank you so much for a video about class management in High School! I have taught in high school and middle school and am still learning to gain confidence and control of and respect from my students

[@SpirituallyAbstract]

How has it been for you since you made this comment.?

[@gatosandwichera]

Oh finally someone talks about reality and gives suggestions that work!! Wonderful video, subscribed right away!

[@erinh2077]

I think I learned more from this video about classroom management than I did in my entire teaching degree. Thanks for making this video...I'm saving it to watch again and again when I need reminders about classroom management.

[@nicole9554]

I graduated college in December to be a high school English teacher. Since then, I have just returned to my job as a grocery manager at a local store. The original plan was to secure a teaching job at the beginning of the next school year in August, but the longer I spend away from school, the more insecure I get about my abilities to teach and to interact with the students. I loved it during my student-teaching experience, but now I am afraid I will never have to courage to become a teacher because I am afraid to fail

[@dlm5322]

Hey Nicole, I totally feel you! I'm about to move back to the states to teach at an inner city middle school after being a kindergarten English teacher in China for 4 years and I'm also really nervous about connecting with the students. BUT just do it. Mistakes will happen without a doubt and if you really want it to work you will find solutions to those mistakes and become the teacher you want to be. Embrace the fear! That's where the most growth happens. Good luck. You can do it! Here's some yoga you can try for a confidence boost. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnbcqqhtoNBjkKs

[@TheGamePlanEduSolutions]

Hi Nicole, I don't know if you will ever read this message, but hopefully, you took the plunge. No one is born knowing how to be the PERFECT teacher. But think of this---what if you have an incredible ability to teach (that you can perfect over time) and there are kids that are waiting for a teacher like you? Don't miss out on something you may be meant to do because of fear! We have all screwed up at one time or another, and here we are, years later, a lot wiser and better for it! Good luck!

[@97stonealex]

Update please

[@mytinyvictories]

This is very interesting even for parents; not just teachers.

[@kristen1225]

I love your videos. I’m doing my internship in a high school now, and it is a struggle being young (24) and finding that balance of being friendly and firm.

[@Jextrapher]

I’ve taught high school math for 4 years and I’m still learning classroom management best practices. I find what works one year does not always work with the next bunch of students you receive the next year. Thank you for some awesome tips! I can definitely implement some of these in my classroom.

[@mojave7025]

This is my first year as a high school teacher. I did a full year as a student-teacher then full-time sub last year. Your videos help a lot w/ all sorts of various tips. Thank you

[@user-tb7iz1vf7p]

This video is definitely helpful. I have to admit, dealing with middle schoolers is another level. Sometimes I would have a group that was very mature and another that was completely the opposite. Students gain your respect when you invest time in them and build personal teacher-student relationships. This is something I always had to make time for and I learned throughout my years of teaching. I found that whenever I didn't do that... my student saw me as the enemy. Being a teacher is probably one of the hardest professions.

[@marvabrickhouse7404]

Number five is critical, in ministry as well. I just can't tell people, what Christ has said ONCE. I have to remind them constantly, and be consistently LIVING it as well. You are a blessing!🙏🏼🤍

[@KaylinBJohnson]

I survived my 1st year as a high school teacher this year. You made some very valid points. Please continue to make these videos. I wish someone would have told me these things.lol

[@amandaros3]

Yay Congrats on your first year! Thats a big deal and thank you so much for liking my videos and watching them! I will definitely try to make more, if you haven't already, I have a few others: 10 things i wish i knew before i started teaching, How I Survive teaching in NYC, 5 Things every teacher Should Do Before the end of the School Year

[@rosevelezschaffry]

“I got a mouth” omg me too girl. I’m an elementary education major seeking a middle school endorsement in spanish. This year I started teaching ccd to get classroom experience and yes I love what I do, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated with negative behavior lol. Even though you teach hs, a lot of this still applies so I’m glad I found this channel :)

[@andreachurchill9054]

I'm not a teacher yet. I start subbing next week and I'm SO EXCITED!!! I just stumbled upon your channel and I find you to be such an inspiration!

[@amandaros3]

Andrea THANK YOU so much for your kind words! Its definitely not a walk in the 'park but we can make it work! I would love for you to comment back if you have any other ideas related to teaching and also check out my video "How I Survive Teaching High School in NYC" if you haven't already. Thanks again for your subscription and comment!

[@ValleyOfWinds]

Woman, you are brilliant. Thank you for all of this wonderful advice

[@wantingtolearn4729]

I love that your not about embarrassing them. As a student I know I would have appreciated that from certain teachers back then.

[@amandaros3]

Yes! I would be mortified if a teacher did that to me. With my personality-that would not work and a teacher would definitely lose my trust

[@Move2USA2022]

I really love the way you use. Thanks for sharing.

[@1ala7js]

Thank you so much very good tips! Love the teacher videos.

[@lisarobertson5088]

Well done! Love your tips!

[@arvidlorimer-olsson2563]

Thank you for keeping it short and giving me these awesome management tips for my teachers!

[@whiteprisms3123]

Excellent tips! Thank you so much!!

[@katyparker1344]

I wish I had had your videos in my first year of teaching high school! Such good insight and advice!

[@canelita1193]

I love all your strategies! There are simple, yet powerful ways to enforce positive behaviors and respect inside the classroom.

[@Riley-reso]

Some gold advice, thank you

[@hayleemartin1231]

This was so helpful! I've taught in a challenging high school in Australia for 12 years. I had 4 years off to have my babies and have just returned in Janurary and I forgot how hard it is. I feel like I'm a new teacher again. A lot has changed and the juggle with being a mum and being a good teacher is much harder than I expected. Thank you for your insights. I would love to see more teaching vids!

[@amandaros3]

Haylee!!! This is so real! I cannot imagine being away for 4 years. I feel like year to year it’s so different between the new education jargon and student expectations! I commend you sooo much for coming back and sticking with it! I can only imagine juggling mommy hood and being a teacher!! I am sure you’re doing a WAY better job then you’re giving yourself credit for! Thank you so much for enjoying my videos and I hope to make more soon!

[@gabrielledomka4408]

I really liked the concept of the train and the train tracks as I have never heard this before but it makes a lot of sense

[@Elizabethperez___]

It is so helpful to hear someone who knows what goes on in the classroom environment, your channel is so helpful! ❤️

[@missn9253]

Excellent video! Many thanks for these strategies! Very Helpful!

[@edwardbenoanie6787]

I've been nodding my head and snapping my fingers with full, 100% agreements! I never experienced your educational setting, but you set the tone for all teachers that classroom management is a huge key for not only teachers to successfully teach, but seeing the growth of students. Thanks for sharing!

[@nacollebuzzell6120]

Great video Amanda. Easy to follow and great examples!

[@xochicuicatlflor]

love your tips! i hope you keep making videos about teaching in secondary education!

[@lindaglickstein1248]

Brilliant!!!

[@louiscelestial8529]

Wow! Great recommendations. I just graduated and will be teaching my first classroom as an intern in a few months. I love your energy and the example scenarios you provided with your tips. I normally click a video and move on if I’m not captured, but what you had to offer really kept me engaged. Definitely a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.

[@ofe2780]

Returning reader, great refresh!!!!! 🙏😇☕🥰

[@natiiface]

Love your videos!! 😍😍 thank you so much! Could you do a video on the first day of school and „setting the tone“? Please! ❤️❤️

[@coolbannana12]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your tips and strategies. I can’t wait to learn more! 💕

[@amandaros3]

I am so glad this helped! I want to really come up with an etnire series on my channel for this. Definitely have to start brainstorming and get that in the works! Thank you so much for the support!

[@edrianacofer4472]

I’m teaching high school in the fall and your videos are life saving 😭 working with teens your advice hits right on the nail!!

[@rashondarileyteaches]

This was a great video and love the train analogy.

[@dthav]

This is an excellent video regarding classroom management, thank you.

[@HibaAli17]

You are literally the best. thanks a lot.

[@anahinojosa4950]

Wow, these are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! I teach adults in a trade school and am going to a high school next year. I'm nervous but I'm so excited about it!

[@kristinbunch4741]

You are the best! I love your videos and down to earth advice. You are spot on! I love having them practice. Music is an amazing way to get the attention. You have a beautiful voice that gets attention too. You speak clearly and you are speaking slowly enough to be understood. From a Florida southern girl, I love the NYC directness

[@amandaros3]

Aw! Kristin thank you so much! Your comment is so sweet Thank you for watching the videos, I am glad they are helpful and that some are even things you use as well. And Yes! Hello from this direct NYC chick to a Florida southern girl!

[@kellihenry5439]

Thank you! Great content!

this lecture is really helpful, thank you for sharing your wisdom Amanda Rose!

[@pausaenzder.9977]

These are amazing tips!!! In a few weeks I will start teaching 8th grade U.S. History ...I am extremely nervous but your videos have given me so many ideas as to what type of teacher I want to be for my students, thank you so much!

[@ssriharikrishna]

You must have the patience of a Saint and the strategies of a Mastermind when it comes to managing kids, very helpful, thank you.

[@audiolego]

The cell, the student that's on medication, the high risks students. Thanks for the insight because I'm a nice teacher by default. Yes a ppl pleaser and I hate it. But I'm not push over as I too have a sharp tongue and capable.

SO GOOD! These tips are easily transferable for parenting and leading small groups. Thanks!

[@amandaros3]

Thanks foe watching and YES these can be applied in so many different environments

[@Nicole-mq2iv]

This video was so helpful! I was nervous about correcting a student's negative/inappropriate behaviour as well, I am still studying/am a pre-service teacher so I still am learning how to affectively do it. :)

[@amandacroteau5430]

EXTREMELY helpful!

I love the post it idea 😊

[@samuraiphilosphic6187]

This is fantastic!

[@thegreengrassbluesky]

I'm so glad I found your channel!! I love your spunk and passion you have for being a teacher!! I can't wait to see more of your videos(-:

[@amandaros3]

Thank you so much!! I am so glad you found my channel as well and I am SO grateful that you enjoy my videos!!

[@yobabyyo]

Thanks for the tips Amanda, I took note of a few of your ideas! I esp. love the idea of a "countdown background song" for think-pair-share type of stuff...

[@amandaros3]

Yay! Thank you so much for watching the video and finding some of the suggestions helpful!

[@BabelynMalate]

These are really nice tips. They are simple but golden. I can relate so much to everything that you say. Indeed, teaching is not just about content. Classroom management is the law of the education.

[@WinnergetsBeauty]

It is my first time to watch your video. I am also a teacher. My students are at around 14~16 and they are beyond our imagination... To manage them, I implemented many many ideas. Now I am gonna use your tips as well. Thx♡

[@staceym2895]

I really love the ideas in this video!! Hope to see more teaching videos!! Coming from a teaching student in Australia, you seem like an awesome teacher xx

[@amandaros3]

Thank you SO MUCH Stacey! I am glad this video was helpful and thank you so much for Subscribing. I am definitely working on another teaching video very soon!

[@veronicalomeli141]

Thank you for this!! You explained the strategies well and clear. I'm looking forward to more teaching videos from you as I need more HS teaching tips and ideas.

[@amandaros3]

Veronica, thank you for commenting and I am so glad that the tips were helpful! I just recently posted one on how to build relationships and keep a look out for my next one- my top 5 favorite activities to use in the classroom

[@tamimansfield4843]

Amanda Rose, thank you so much for sharing your strategies -- your passion comes through and you're giving us great tools. I'm new to your vids but I'll keep watching from New Zealand. Thank you again!

[@amandaros3]

Thank you so much!

[@kalpanaborgohain1847]

Now make a List of five classroom better please make this video

[@kassandraacruzz]

I liked the video before i even finished it 😂 But honestly your channel as a whole has helped me so much. I'm subscribed to a lot of the teachers here on youtube but many of them are Elementary teachers. I switched last semester, after I decided to shadow in a high school class, to Secondary Ed and got exposed to that atmosphere. I NEVER thought i would have fallen in love as much as i did but now i need a lot of help! I feel like Elementary Ed has a lot more aid versus Seconday Ed. But again, your channel has helped so much already! I loveeee all of your content.

[@amandaros3]

You're sooo cute! And I agree, there are a ton of resources on here for elementary school. I am so glad you have found these helpful and I am thankful that I listened to friends who encouraged me to start teaching videos. AND YOU SEE!!! So many can't see themselves doing the older students and then they are sooo pleasantly surprised! As your career continues and there are things that come to mind that I could talk about, please leave a comment and mention it,I'd love to know how else to help. Thanks again!!

[@kassandraacruzz]

Yesss! You are amazing at conveying your ideas so I know you're a great teacher! This semester I'm going to be shadowing more so if I have any questions, I'm definitely going to ask you!! I shadow at a Title 1 with predominantly hispanic students and I did watch your video where you mentioned that you dont speak spanish but its a great skill to have, and i agree on the entirely. So many student are coming from Puerto Rico to Orlando after Maria hit and some know little to no spanish so I help around a lot. Again thank youuu!!

[@kristinbunch4741]

I'm teaching in Colombia and have had many experiences trying to improve my classroom management. It is not easy and I feel like it also is affected by school context. Different schools have different styles and curriculum and cultures. I really appreciate your guidance and advice. I love high school but I love even more the sweetness of elementary school students

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

Great video! This is my 11th year teaching high school & these tips are spot on!

[@amandaros3]

Yaaaay! Thank you!

[@micheleduck5185]

Your videos are brilliant, I finally feel like I have found a teacher I can relate to! Do you think you'll do a video about the first day/ week of school and setting expectations? Im so aware how important it is but its definetely my biggest fear! Thanks for all your AMAZING advice! I think I'll be watching these weekly.

[@amandaros3]

Thank you so much for watching the videos. And yes, I definitely want to do a video on the first day-first week of school. I will be working on that very soon!

[@karlaschaefer2340]

Thank you for this vid!

[@mrs.lessofamess9418]

I‘m so glad I found your channel! Love the way you explain things! 😍 I‘m a first year teacher in Germany where I teach Middle School and High School as it is combined here. I have one very difficult class that I love teaching, but they do drive me crazy every now and then. I especially like the idea of writing post it notes. Thanks for that! I‘ll try it out. And oh yes, timers! When I got one, I never thought they would react so well to it. I also use it to challenge the kids to team up in groups in less than a minute and things like that. Otherwise it takes them forever. Setting a timer somehow turns it into a game. Works in any grade, it‘s weird. 😄 I‘m looking forward to more of your videos! ❤️

[@amandaros3]

Wow teaching in Germany? That's so awesome! I have a class like that too, they are a really excited bunch but sometimes keeping them on task can be so hard! Yup, the post it notes make like so easy and thats such a good point about the timers! Getting them into groups, who ever can do it the fastest becomes a game. Adding light hearted competition is always a win. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel, I appreciate it so so so much!!

I'm 23, and I started teaching. So I was really desperate, and then I watched your videos. Thank you!!! You're an inspiration

[@meryamle6270]

Thank you so much😘 i'm a teacher and a new subscriber 😊

[@rachelvolk4700]

Love these tips! I'm about to start my 2nd year of teaching high school in NYC public schools. I started in November last year, so starting after the school year began was super tough when it came to classroom management. I'm excited to be able to have somewhat of a fresh start this year!

[@amandaros3]

YAY! Good luck this year! Don't forget to always assume the best of the students. The way you view the classroom and their motives will make such a big difference in how you implement these strategies.

[@PeacheSncuM]

Thanks so much Amanda for all your helpful videos! I just started emergency subbing this month and it has been fun and crazy at the same time. Classroom management is like a tightrope walk. I am not afraid to tell students no, but sometimes I think I make mistakes about how to approach discipline so the negative behavior isn't recurring. Its essential to put yourself in the mind of the kid -- what would I have thought as a kid of my methods to correct behavior? Positive reinforcement, or merely neutral talk with the student (depending on severity of poor behavior) has been beneficial but sometimes I am not positively reinforcing enough! I don't want them to not like me to the point that my efforts will make it worse, including the overall classroom environment. Wow it is tough to navigate!

[@amandaros3]

Yes! I agree! It is just a tricky thing to manage and comes with A LOT of trial and error. I've made many mistakes in the past and escalated situations that I shouldn't have. The best part is that you're already self-reflecting and thats key for improvement and true relationship in the classroom

[@sonyaarroyo6953]

New subscriber here!!😁 Love the post-it note idea!! Thanks for sharing, I enjoy watching your videos on teaching.💘

[@amandaros3]

[@sttebb233]

Great video, I will definitely be implementing some of these tips...And I've been teaching for 14 years!!! So much to learn...

[@amandaros3]

Thank you and thanks for watching! That is very true! In this field there is always something to learn!

[@kalpanaborgohain1847]

Your video is so good

[@joycecaballero3206]

Thanks for your input!!! I just started college to get my bachelors in Sped, and I believe we learn this classroom management hands on. No student, school or teacher will be the same and until we are in the moment with trial and errors that's when we learn. I also feel that the repetitions of expectations should be used at home!!! What a twist I took from this. Someone on the comments mentioned Jesus and yes that is true. Constant reminder of what Jesus has done for us, reminder of expectations, reminders of home expectations. Thanks

[@97stonealex]

I like the posted notes

[@lori79194]

Hi Amanda, thank you for your classroom related videos. I am prepping to become a CTE Business teacher for high school kids and just watched your video about the first year and am starting to watch this one now. :) I know it's been a while since you have started teaching, but do you remember how your first day went? first day, first week, first month? Would you be able to make a video about those firsts? I just can't imagine how would it be to get there, the first time. lol I know you had student teaching.. which means you got some practice.. I won't have that. Just practicum at the end of my certification.. but just throwing an idea that would be reaaaaally helpful. Thank you!! :)

[@georgiamorse6233]

I had a small portion of classes on classes on classroom management (still in school) the teacher said that you should spend at least the first week setting up classroom management
