I think we can learn so much from veteran teachers. No matter what year you are in you should be looking towards the veterans. We have a teacher has is on her 30th year and I always ask her for advice. She is so wise and I want to soak up as much as possible from her before she retires.

I am in my 26th year of teaching and still need to remember these tips. I also love your reminders of having faith in God. Love all the videos I've seen of you and look forward to seeing more.

Thank you for such valuable advice, Miss May! I've been struggling to get into my first classroom and I've been graduated/licensed for a year and a half now. I've done lots of subbing and leaves, but still no job yet. :( I've been worried after a few experiences that I would be on my own and expected to have it together 100% of the time, but I'm so lucky to have the guidance and mentorship of veteran teachers like yourself to help me along as I struggle through this confusing time. This video is such a blessing!

Omg I swear I can't thank you enough. I'm 18 and I'm a teacher for preschool and kinder for after school program. My first time was last week and it was crazy. I would often ask for advice and help because I don't know anything about getting kids attention or what to do to calm the classroom down. I feel like I'm too boring and I'm trying my best to make it fun. I still have a lot to learn and I wasn't cocky at all either. I would let any staff or parents know that it's my first year and that I'm trying my best. I know how to deal with children because I would help at a daycare or babysit for 5 years so I know how children's behaviors are and what to do. It's just a bit difficult for me now because it's about 15 kids in my classroom. 😵 I'm going to watch every video of yours and study more to be a great teacher as you. 😊

I agree with you about new teachers. I like how you say NEW teachers vs YOUNG teachers. I have newer teachers who acted like they knew it all. One example is my old choir director. He came in as if he was all that and a bag of chips He told us he had listened to our contest pieces and that they were horrible, Undermining (think thats' the word) the judges which gave us great ratings. He even got rid of the choir I was in. He destroyed the choir. We had 150 kids in it when he came in after his first year, it was down to 100 and after his second (and last year) it was down to 50 or so. He wasn't respectful or kind towards us and he resigned after 2 years becaus our kids were too baldy behaved ..was his reason.
