Hey um idk when the video was w forbes😊

I always dismiss them too from their seats. Randomly by row or group, depending on the current configuration. Desks and floor area needs to be clear before I’ll let them go. They learn quickly to encourage others to put away their things in time.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALL YOUR RULES! Great!

Love these videos. What are your best ways to quickly assess whether or not a student understands verbal instructions?😊

Wow! I rarely watch instructional videos. I just don't have time. But Megan is great! Her fun and snarky attitude is so much like me. Love the suggestions.

Great video! You run a no non-sense classroom like me!

Love all of these! I’m moving to the middle school from the highschool and I would say I did all the same with my freshman 😂 but question about the late work… is the student required to show you the late work during class? Curious about how you’re doing that.

It’s so great that you made this. I recently watched your Year Four behavioral expectations and I wondered if your procedures had changed. Thanks. I guess I was wondering if you were still “not a nice teacher” as you put it. Middle school is middle school. Thanks for the no loud noises, that skibidi toilet was killing me😭

YES Megan - I am heading into year 9 at the middle school level and these are EXACTLY the kinds of videos that I need! Not to say we are jaded or anything 😏just operating in reality. Loved this one!

6th grade veteran teacher I really liked the rule about the Chromebook closed at the beginning of class!! I enforced the no phone in class, if I see it I confiscate, turn it in to the office! This year we are making it a rule to be off and in the backpack!!

Great video. I’ve been teaching middle school my entire teaching career and I’ve learned something new every year. Our school has a no hoodie policy(on your head) and no cell phones out. They are to be placed in the lockers or a designated area in the classroom. I also have gone from rules to expectations, I know it’s semantics, but I tell me kids at the beginning of the year absolutely through out, these are my expectations and they are held accountable to follow them. I believe the most important thing we can do as educators is stay consistent. I’ve had to make changes in the middle of the year, because I noticed if my consistency was off the kids would take that and run with it. Have a great year fellow educators(brave souls).❤😂

Hi Megan! We sent you an email a few weeks ago! Have you seen it? Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜🥰

Yessssssss!!! I can relate!!!😃🥰

Wow, you don't have any prep time? When do you grade and prep your lessons?

Starting my 28th year of teaching middle school. So many relatable things in this video. 😂 I allow kids to turn in late work on a unit until the day before the test.

I found your channel about a month ago and I’m so happy I did! I moved from teaching high school social studies for seven years to teaching middle school this past year. Your videos have helped me come up with routines, procedures and expectations to keep students on task and engaged. One expectation I have in my class is no anchors. An anchor is a student that holds the class, their table, or themselves back from engaging with the content. Kids will call each other out and say no anchors. I have a sign printed and on the wall as well. Thanks again for all you do! I hope you have a great start to your school year!

I've been teaching for eight years. The best tip that I can give another teacher is to pinpoint three or four things that really get under your skin and make those your rules. Don’t create rules just because they were the rules when you were in school. If you're a beginner teacher, you're not really going to know what gets under your skin until you've actually taught.

Veteran middle school teacher here. My rules are pretty much the same. Our school has agreed on rules everywhere on campus: "No hoodies on in buildings", "phones off and away until I say", "the teacher dismisses students not the bell", and we must have a bell ringer. As a Sped Teacher, I don't allow my paras to talk to the students during whole-group instruction time, because I have a lot of students on IEPs that are easily distracted. Most of the class period is either group work or individual work, so there's lots of time for having conversations. This summer, I became BeGlad certified, so we will be co-creating posters regularly. So, I'll have to come up with a procedure for that.

This video is hilarious. Loved it! After 9 years of teaching, I still don't get why they make animal noises from time to time. Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

I do NOT let my students leave unless they’re in their seats either. We love to say, “Cheeks in seats!” 7th graders get a kick out of it and will chant it to remind others!

I am a paper teacher for the reasons you described. I did all on Chromebook one year and it was crazy. Now I do mostly paper and wow it has been great. I use Chromebooks for fun reviews on Blooket and for tests.

This is so good!

Tech support job is so smart!!! TY!

250 students and no prep time!!! God bless you. Despite that you are taking the time to make videos to help other teachers: thank you so much, on behalf of all teachers. Thank you

LOVE your resources! Just purchased this one for my DEI classes with middle schoolers. I have terrible teacher/back to school dreams too. lol

Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

I am in the process of diving into the Middle School Realm and this video is a great guide! You now have aa new subscriber!

Hi Megan, I loved this work. I put it into practice in my classes, here in Minas Gerais, Brazil. thanks!!

My first notebook assignment every year is "A History of Me." I think I may have my students do it digitally this time. Thanks for the inspiration. My son is also a class of 04 grad!

That is such a lovely planner! I know what you mean about getting the child off Roblox and practising writing. My son had an eventful July on Roblox, but we’re balancing that with language and math in August. 😐 Have a great school year!! 🤗

I love this idea 💡 Would you have kids volunteer to share aloud or in groups or just write it down and turn it in? 🤔💕 thank you!

Just picked up my EC planner at Target. Love the layout...works perfectly for me, and checklist area I use for grading!

Yeah!! More content from my favorite teacher here on youtube!! I am an elementary teacher and I learn so much from your content about literacy and history. 🎉

This is such a cute lesson! 💖I love this idea!! Now, if I could find something like this for math...🤣😂

Yes student debt should be avoided if possible. So many students need to have their loans forgiven 100%

Cool! That is a nice planner. Teaching 6th Grade English and History this year. So,glad that I am not the only person who uses a paper planner. Seems like everyone is going digital.

it definitely depends on the maturity nowadays only 8 year olds read all of these im 13 and my friend read icebreaker

Can you do a video about how to incorporate novels and short stories into one unit together, as well as fitting in writing, vocab, communication standards? Moving from Elem to middle ELA and I'm excited but that part is SO intimidating...

First year in summer as teacher assistant, no job😢 I don't know how to do, crying

One of the things I do not see acknowledged enough when ever teachers talk about work-life balance is the differences between teaching jobs. I have a friend who teaches five classes, all the same subject, is in charge of a upper level study hall for his sixth period, and then has a prep period for the 7th hour. He has taught the class for over fifteen years. Then you have my other friend who will be teaching six classes, five of which are different subjects. You have teachers who have teams where they share lesson plans and then someone like me who is the only person in my department. You have curriculum that is well-written and comes complete with all the supplementals. Then you have teachers who walk into their classroom and don't even have books. My first year, not only did I not have any textbooks, I had seven different lesson plans to create. Then there is the expectations for accommodations, parental contact, behavior, and turning in lesson plans that varies from school to school, sometimes varying even within the same district. One fellow teacher I knew spent over 30 minutes each night in modifications, record keeping, and meetings etc. for just ONE student. Then throw in items like getting assigned new textbooks or a new grade or subject, which hopefully you are licensed in and are more than one chapter ahead of the students. How long you have been teaching your classes and that textbook makes a huge difference in your prep work. Last year we got the updated version of the textbook I had been using for over eight years. I was shocked at how much a difference that made to my prep time last year. What I am trying to say is there is a huge difference between positions, some of them are a lot more labor intensive than others.

I just ran into this video and these classrooms management rules are EXACTLY what I am looking for. Where can I find your PowerPoint?

Wow this is a wonderful video I love unboxing!!

They were Plan With Me videos! I watched them all the time too. :)

Excited (for me!) that you are doing 7th grade history. I need new ideas! My TPT account is ready for ya!! Lol

Awwww, wi!l read How to Hide an Empire. Watching your vlogs from Philippines

After starting the video, I had to go back and check the date on the video. Still love unboxing and planning videos. Thank you. 😍😊🙏

Ptc is parent teacher conferences!

Do you have a written out year plan I could buy?!

Please do a «what’s in my handbag» video like the old times❤

I love putting stickers in my planner! I need to start setting up my school planner for next year.
