I loved this video! I just accepted my first teaching position in first grade last week in Austin, TX! I've started rewatching your classroom setup series to get excited about it! I've heard you talk a lot about your compliment chart for positive behavior management. Could you do a whole video or talk about it sometime? I'd love to know more about it because it's definitely something I'm interested in trying my first year. Thank you!!

[@MichelleGayScienceTeacher]

Congratulations on your job!

[@PrimarilyYours]

Congratulations, Cassidy! First grade is such a fun age - and Lauren is the perfect person to follow!! :) I would love to know more about your compliment chart, too :)

[@angelar5017]

Fantastic work, Lauren! Thanks for sharing.

[@thatteachernextdoor2422]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure people looking for their first position will find it especially helpful. 🤗

[@ladybleu7617]

Amazing information for teachers and soon to be teachers during any hiring time. Thank you Lauren, you have a genuine joy in your work and it shows.

[@Texasdoglover738]

I loved how informative this video is, I’ll definitely begin working on mine soon and I’ll be using your video as a guide! 🤗🤗

[@angelarae1783]

Fantastic job, Lauren, on your portfolio. Thanks for using your professional portfolio as a visual example.

[@PuttingFourthEffort]

This just takes me back and refreshes my memory so much! Thanks for this video Lauren! You are SO put together, it's truly inspiring. I will definitely be taking some of this time to update my portfolio. I eventually plan to leave my school when I move and start a family. Now that I have been teaching for four years, I am planning on including my Personal Development Plan (Yearly teaching goals)! You're right, some schools will care greatly about this and others won't, but it is so much better to come over-prepared! AND I love how you included all of your certificates. I never know what to do with any of those, now I do!!

hi

[@hannahburdette1375]

Wow this is so eye opening! I am going into my senior year of undergrad and I am definitely going to be working on this before I hopefully get an interview. We have not discussed a portfolio at my university but I think this definitely makes you stand out. Thank you so much! ❤️

[@aliciaulrich5157]

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤ I am going to be student teaching in a first grade classroom in the fall and this video gives me ideas on what to pay attention to and make note of during that experience to use in a portfolio for the interview process! 😊

[@Haileyb613]

Thanks for doing this! I recently made a digital portfolio out of a google site because I am interviewing right now in the middle of this mess so a paper copy doesn’t apply! I had made a paper one last summer when you first talked about it. Great to see what you include!

[@SpeakNoww17]

Lauren this was so helpful! I created one of these after seeing your original interview video.. I think I'm going to update it now too!

[@PrimarilyYours]

SO HELPFUL!! What an incredible resource that showcases how passionate and talented you are. Thank you for sharing this! :)

[@Alexander_M_2007]

hi

[@Patience97]

YAY! I am going to make a portfolio! I was so nervous about what to say and do during an interview and I think this will help! thank you!

[@laurensyck4898]

Such a great idea to update your portfolio after your first year. I’m gonna need to get to that too.

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

Yas!!! Perfect way to start my morning :)

[@tingting6125]

The Chronicles of Teacher Tay Yessss and I LOVE ur channel🤩💗

[@HelensLife_]

Yayy a new video!! Thank you Lauren, perfect Monday afternoon break (im in the UK) . Ive also been obsessed over the coffee you made in your latest video, soo good. Have a great week and keep safe :)

[@lindsey802]

Hi! What fonts did you use for the title and subtitles? I want to use the same ones for my portfolio that I am beginning to create. I love them but can't find them myself! Thank you!

[@Beth-px3xz]

Loved this and so interesting to see what you have to do in the state I'm an early years educator in the UK , Thank you Lauren and I love your content on all platforms x

[@cscreative5460]

This is so helpful! I can’t wait to start piecing everything together.

[@cscreative5460]

I just finished my portfolio with the help of this video. Added some and took away some. I'm so proud of it. Thank you!

[@mckenziecurvin367]

I’m definitely going to begin putting together a portfolio! I love this. 😁

[@rebeccasaxton4354]

Thank you so much for making this video! I’m definitely going back into my portfolio to revise it. 😊

[@jennifermorse2803]

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us! You really inspire me!:)

[@candiceredd5055]

Thank you for this video! I’m in the process of looking for a job and I needed to revamp my portfolio that I made after I graduated in December. Have you thought about adding a “remote teaching” section of your portfolio? Hopefully we will never be put in a situation like this in the future but do you personally think that schools in the future will be interested to see what you did as far as remote learning while in an interview?

[@katierokos3037]

Do you have the link for the classroom design tool that you used?? Looking to create my own and struggling to find the best tool!

[@squerky]

Hey Lauren, I was wondering if you could share that "sample classroom setup" link that you mentioned? I'd really love to take a look at the site!

[@maggiewehr6619]

Love the video, I purchased Michelle's portfolio template too! I am currently finishing up getting my Master's in eled and am currently in the job searching process. Would you do a video on teacher interview questions/interview tips? Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KaraEaton5]

What did you get your masters in?

[@sophteachestinies]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@Lucky_kit6052]

Can you make a video about going to school in different countries or if you learn another language when you were there. Please.

[@meganelizabeth5224]

I loved this video. Most of my portfolio is already crated, inspired by Michelle Ferre as well. I am hoping to get a position this year, but I am so anxious about the hiring process and the start of the school year due to COVID. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Do you have any thoughts on trying to use your portfolio during Zoom meeting interviews? I was ready for in-person interviews and sharing my portfolio, but that will be difficult via Zoom.

[@erikawoolner2759]

Can you do a video on your experience with VIPKid? I just started a contract with them!

[@kaciek1487]

Hey Girlie!

[@preciouslung9062]

Thanks! Love it! You are always so hopeful, positive, and sweet! ❤️ I just started a KZbin channel and I would love to make my videos like yours. I would love advice if you have time. 🙂

[@mzzzzzzday]

Digital...because of Covid. It wasn’t going to be digital initially for me.
