Things I Did as a 1st-Year Teacher I'm NOT DOING as a 3rd-Year Teacher

[@kimberlymercado177]

As a 7th year teacher, I completely agree with you on every single point! I have especially learned that high school students NEED structure, policies, and procedures. This 100% helps with behavior.

[@byBriannaStone]

Agreed! Even as adults we need structure. I STRUGGLE during summer break having no structure and no routine and all the time in the world to do whatever, whenever 😂

Your videos are so extremely helpful. I am entering the classroom as a sub while I do the Texas Cert Program and you are so informative. I have finally decided at 40 years old to be in the career that I have always wanted. Thank you and please keep making teacher vids:)

[@byBriannaStone]

That’s the same route I took! I subbed for a year while working on my Alt Certification! 😊 I transitioned careers from being a news reporter to teacher!

[@byBriannaStone]

Good luck on your teaching journey 💖

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

You are very intelligent teacher. I learned a lot from your channel . Thanks always for sharing your experience🙏

[@byBriannaStone]

Thank you so much for watching my videos!!!

[@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher]

Great video and tips! My first year teaching mistake was to grade EVERYTHING. Every. Single. Assignment. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@drazenbagavac8004]

Hello, I’m about to be a first year teacher as I just received my LOE from my alt cert program and am about to start applying and I’m terrified and excited as well. I was wondering if you have videos on how to apply and how to set up a resume for applying to your first teacher job as an alt cert.

These points are really awesome, thank you for sharing. I am happy to say that watching you and hearing you share your journey I can see your growth! Continue to flourish.

Thank you for this!

I found your videos when I was looking for sub videos and they have been so helpful, this past week was my first week as a sub and the tips you mentioned were so helpful

[@byBriannaStone]

Glad I could help! I have several videos on my channel about my experiences when I was a sub for a year!

I'm soooo glad that you have uploaded "teaching videos". love your content and you inspire me to be a better teacher each day. by the way, we're somehow the same coz i'm a journalism major in college and took education units to be allowed to teach.

[@byBriannaStone]

Aww thanks so much for watching! I have a lot of videos on my channel about how I started substitute teaching to becoming a certified teacher. I became certified through alternative certification after college. I worked for the Dallas Morning News for almost a year and realized I did not want to work in journalism anymore.

[@dianerivamartinez1009]

@@byBriannaStone yes i have watched those videos too. ❤️

I absolutely love that cell phone idea! I will be trying that out this year🙌🏾 My school semester begins next week! NY teacher here 🖐🏾 and I'm here for the teacher content! Keep up the good work Ms. Stone. You are awesome! 👌🏾 Have a great school year!

[@byBriannaStone]

Thank you! HAVE AN AMAZING SCHOOL YEAR💖

Thank you for this list sis❤️❤️❤️

[@byBriannaStone]

Also I quit teaching so just an update 😂😂😂 would not recommend being a teacher

[@xiomarabeckers7536]

Do you see longevity within this path? Of course live is evolutionary and it’s often I see people evolve into education and then transition to counseling or leadership or even use the skills from the classroom as analyst or learning and development professionals… I just ask because now that you can reflect on experience as a teacher I wonder if you see it as a path you’d do long term or as a bridge to another purpose

[@SarahSmith-td7ug]

So how is teacher turn over at your school?

[@jesuso7467]

Love your content!! I am going to be an English Teacher myself, but in California! What books are you teaching or have taught?

[@Stephen_A.]

OMG, I can't believe how strict you were with yourself for the last two years. All your changes are very important for your psyche and your health. ❤

[@padma203]

Hello..how do I start as a sub for elementary

[@byBriannaStone]

Check the website for the school district you want to sub for.

[@Stephen_A.]

The cell phone policy will be the most difficult, but so important, even though a lot of the kids won't see it that way right away. But they'll get it eventually.

[@byBriannaStone]

Agreed!

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Wow, girl! I know this is an older video and you're not teaching anymore, but the school you worked at sounds quite toxic. You didn't have a teacher's cafeteria spot? Your class doesn't have windows? There's not a school-wide rule about cellphones? No wonder so many US teachers quit... I'm glad you did reflect on your previous experiences, though. I've got a question: do first time teachers get guidance? To be fair, I didn't when I started out, but the school I'm working at does provide new teachers with guidance. They're also not required to be a part of a group (for example to set up the beginning of the school year, organize events, etc.). I don't teach high school, though. I teach primary school (4-6 year-olds) and the school system differs in the Netherlands. We don't have a separation of elementary and middle school. High school is right after primary school here in the Netherlands.

I'm 33, but I look younger. So when they ask me that, I always tell them. Most of my Jr. High students have parents my age.
