TOP Motivational Video for TEACHERS | Professional Development | Jeremy Anderson

[@KKLomaPortal]

Just letting you know Jeremy, we as after school educators, appreciate you! We wonder every day if you are okay. Those children that are with us become part of us and we love to hear back from them. Not only to know if they are safe and well, but to see what they accomplished and we know instinctively that they have done something amazing!

[@christopherpugliese3936]

Well said. I am a teacher today because of the amazing teachers I had, who impacted my life as I grew up. I still keep in contact with several of them and I am very grateful for those teacher who are now my friends.

Teaching is MORE-there is always more to do, always more to learn, always more to change. Unfortunately, most any professional development comes from the standpoint of a deficiency. Teachers are deficient because they aren't doing enough, learning enough, or changing enough. How much more powerful would it be to start with gratitude and praise? Most of us know we can be better at our jobs. Heck, everyone tells us so-admin, politicians, parents, students-mostly, teachers are the poster children for Imposter Syndrome. More than half give in to all of that and leave. People tell them to, so they do. It is refreshing to hear a voice in the wilderness who speaks nurturing and life to the profession. Thank you.

[@brianag9726]

So true. I hope my principal has read your comment.

[@leavingsoonduetocensorship3453]

Bro this will just motivate teachers to jump out of the window...you get to discuss whether or not your teacher should make "sacrifices" AFTER you make sure they are paid enough for food, housing, and healthcare (they aren't).

[@necolejohnson1533]

I was introduced to your videos by a teacher at a professional development summer training. I was so inspired by your words and the way you filled my heart with hope. I now know that people do appreciate teachers each and every day!

The administration needs to watch this video and show more appreciation for us as a teacher.

[@demondkross]

I agree, just as the students need to be reminded that teachers and other staff are human and have human problems, the same reminder can definitely be given to school administrators. What are some of the things administrators can do th show more appreciation?

[@altonbias625]

How fortunate for me that the first motivational video that I pull up to show to my faculty and staff is this one, and it was spot on. Thanks.

[@1jeremyanderson]

Alton Bias wow!!! Maybe that’s a sign!! Thanks for all you and your staff do!!

[@altonbias625]

Amen to that brother. Thanks for sharing your WHY!

[@joellay8391]

I am honored to work each day aside so many selfless people!

[@joellay8391]

I am honored to work each day aside so many wonderful selfless people!

[@stephaniewright7296]

I realize this was recorded 4 years ago, but we were made to watch this in a faculty meeting on Friday (1/6/23). The first 2.5 minutes of this video was good. But sir, you as a motivational speaker must STOP telling teachers to SACRIFICE themselves for a profession that doesn’t care about their well being. Yes the students matter, that’s why we do it. But this same toxic positivity is why teachers are stressed out and leaving in droves. Put that same energy into telling administrators to focus on keeping your teachers happy and healthy and you will see student performance (and STUDENT well being) improve.

[@marthawanjiru4911]

Teachers lives matter too

[@KathleenGuillot]

You are the profession. Why don't you care about your well being? If you say the students matter, then take care of you to make sure your impact is the most well played it can be. Take that mental day with or without your admin's approval. Your kids will miss you more than you realize and let you know it when you return. Be your own advocate and teach your admin what is needed in your system. It is going to take this to create the wave we need to sweep the country. WE DO MATTER.

[@kswain08]

Thank you to all who believe in sacrificial service. What would the world look like without people who work selflessly to make this world a better place?

[@jackc981]

A teacher is someone that selflessly invested in someone She or he won't be able to see tomorrow but always rewarded

[@kumatoni5245]

Awesome! Really didn't need the bland, soppy music at the end. The words were hugely powerful on their own.

[@natasahirany]

Awesome words. I wonna share more widely to others.

[@cwbyjnkies]

Motivating, but have never needed motivation, I love what I do. The issue is respect from administrators. The other issue is money…way underpaid for the responsibility to mentally, spirituality, intellectually educate a crammed classroom full of children with varying levels and abilities. No one is saying it, but the level of responsibility and “sacrifice”and the unspoken punitive measures administration can lay on teachers is a form of professional bullying because they know we need to be able to live, pay bills, take care of our families, and have healthcare (coverage is really crap!)

[@stacybrown6956]

I am currently a first grade teacher, and I never heard the term "professional bullying" before until I saw your comment. I also love what I do, but I am being professionally bullied by the principal who is very condescending and manipulative. Like everyone else, I need to make a living so I am practicing major self control. The pay is another story. Being with the children is what motivates me to carry on.

[@lisalee7112]

I receive this. Thanks Jeremy!!!

Beautiful Message

[@FreddyFriMotivation]

Great video, very powerful and spot on!

[@paramsethi5977]

Thanks..I am proud to be a Teacher 🙏

[@Ozgad_Themajestic]

That was soooo beautiful 😩❤

[@stacycerone7714]

This was very inspiring, thank you!

[@FairleyMadeVlogs]

Yes!!! I love it! Speak Life 🙌

[@mars-oc3hg]

I gave my personal health. What a lesson of life later on...

[@sakurasiracha2918]

I want to teach elementary students, and maybe one day, live in Japan for a year or 2 to teach kids there just to experience. It seems far fetched, but it would be a dream come true.

[@brianag9726]

Best wishes!

[@ltcollins]

Yes sir!

[@VICTORIA-bb1dz]

This is great, but how many sacrifices am I supposed to make? And how much at the expense of my physical and mental health? Giving more of me can't be the answer. I am feeling all tapped out.

[@1jeremyanderson]

🙏🏾 you have to take care of you before you can take care of anyone else. Learn what fills your cup and make self care a priority so that you give from your overflow and won't continue to be depleted from pouring life into others. 🙏🏾

[@csingleton_2]

Amazing word !!!

[@yonahokidia1976]

Sehr gut mein Bruder

[@JR-_-2010]

Well said.

[@happy_teacher48happy_teach10]

Yes!!!

[@Michelle-md5pb]

powerful

[@zee8405]

My students barely listen to me. They have serious discipline issues. Some days I feel so tired I just go home and cry. Maybe I'm not made to do this.

[@1jeremyanderson]

Zee you are made to do this, and what you do makes a difference. Thanks for your hard work and sacrifice!!

[@jasun4787]

I feel you Zee 😭

[@demondkross]

@zee thank you for having the courage to share these emotions. I hope you and anyone else that needs to, see this. Keep in mind what Jeremy said. Most of the impact you have on students will not be seen until 5 years down the road or more, particularly with students with behavioral struggles. I work at a therapeutic day school with students with behavioral struggles among other social/emotional challenges. Our former principal used to show images and tell success stories of former students he or other staff would run into. There are also former students that come back to visit. Most were the most difficult to work with and the ones that felt like we were not getting through. I hope you are still teaching and this encourages you.

[@kesojuvivek]

I also feel the same Zee

[@saneman8147]

Good to see an honest comment.

[@caontiemcneal6547]

WOW!

[@sydolafson2185]

In theory it sounds good, but reality sucks. Students suck! Pay sucks! Administration Support sucks! That's why teachers are giving up and heading for greener pastures.

[@KathleenGuillot]

Be careful not to step in the fertilizer on that greener side. It's pretty stinky too.

[@jimjones5419]

Destroying money may be a crime. ... The general thinking seems to be “it's MY money, so I should be allowed to write on it, tear it up or burn it as a protest against the banking system if I want to.” But in fact, it's technically illegal to deface U.S. currency to the point at which it's rendered unusable Lock this idiot up!
