Best Advice for New Teachers (or Old Teachers)

Chris can please make more education videos? They are great

We went to Google classroom 2 years ago. I teach computer science years 7 to 13. I strart every class with a quiz of 10 questions. Sometimes a review or introducing new concepts. Gets the kids focused and every class knows when they have me to log on to the class and start the quiz Gets them focused and then I can introduce a topic. Works like a dream when being observed

I really appreciate this older, simple wisdom on teaching. Thank you very much! I'm going to be training to become a teacher after I finish my bachelors, and much of the modern teaching methods, guidelines, or tips all feel very "bogged down" with these new philosophies based on babying students and (i think) limiting their success... So it's nice to get a perspective that I think agrees with my own philosophy on teaching, one that I really developing from having older and stricter professors in college- who I realized were better teachers than nearly all teachers I ever had in my 12 years of k-12... Students need clear schedules, deadlines, and expectations... And discipline actually gives more comfort to the student as well, not just the teacher! Thank you again for this video, and apologies for my little rant there!

You are fabulous. I wish we could talk in person.

Good advice. Routine, routine, routine. And from an old economics teacher, repeat, repeat, repeat. And then, I'd ask my seniors, what do you not understand? Towards the end of career, my principal would observe me from the hallway, never knew he was there. At the end of the lesson, he'd look in the back window and wink at me. But that was 25 years into the position and a small rural high school.

Great point about short, concise directions! I would add using a timer can add a sense of urgency as well. Please keep these up Chris, their great nuggets of wisdom!!

Great advice!! I hope educators find your channel & take your advice!! 👍🏽🙏🏽

Your channel is great with useful and wonderful content worth following. I hope that communication between us will continue. It is a great pleasure 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Good ideas. Plus, you never know what attitude the kid with the worst attitude in class will have on any given day that disrupts everything. I enjoy watching your videos. BIG question: Did you ever fire a teacher? Please let us know. Thank you!

Solid advice Chris

I basically agree that the classroom should be structured as he says. The challenge once order is established is in mixing in the creativity to inspire within that structure.

You should have seminars to help new Teachers teach students today and some of the older teachers could use a little help. Thank you for sharing Chris have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. Amazing video 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Where were you when I was just beginning? I must admit that I am glad to be retired. I did not like teaching the graduation test. It wasn't fun anymore.

Great, great advice! You’re an asset to teaching with your experience and knowledge..
