History has always been my favorite subject, every teacher and professor I’ve had made me it ! I was a nursing major (3.8) I just switched my major to African American history/social studies education 7-12 . I’m so excited to actually do something I’m passionate about

I’m a Brazilian history teacher and I like your tips too much! Gongratulations!!!!

I ❤️ US History! Love European history & obsessed with living & traveling there, but I ❤️ US History the most.

I am nodding and clapping after every single sentence of this video! 😂 I’m so glad we got to collab—I wish we could be history teacher coworkers!

[breeunabashedly]

I love this collab! I will (hopefully) be finished with my History Degree this December then pursuing Teachers Program here in Texas. You ladies get me super excited!!

I'm starting my undergraduate degree for Secondary education in Social Studies next year and this really helped me and inspired me!! These are such great tips, thanks so much for the great content! :)

Thanks for the great video! I majored in history but didn’t take any education credits because I was double majoring and felt like I needed to get out of school before racking up more loans. I’ve always wanted to be a history teacher and I’m now looking into going back for a license or getting a provisional one if a school will hire me :) I share the same sentiment I always loved! history class. I am shocked when people say how boring it was but I realize like you say, maybe they were just learning facts and dates and not really getting into the past. I’ve always liked to learn as much as I can about my favorite things and I felt like majoring in history allowed me geek out all the time.. I loved my college experience as a history nerd. Thanks for inspiring me to accomplish my goal take care!

I really loved this video. I was shocked when I realized people hate Social Studies . I teach Civics, Social Justice and World History and I have made it my mission to decolonize Civic and Historical education . One of the things that has help with this is to teach backwards. I start with the current times and work my way backwards . This has been transformative. My kids have really increased their understanding of conflicts and built empathy and compassion for other marginalized groups .

I have loved history since 6th grade (i am going into 11th. I have loved both of my history teachers (plus a student teacher I had). they were huge helps and inspired me on wanting to go into teaching history.

I wanna become a history teacher for HS. History means everything to me. Family, US, World, Medieval so one so forth. First year of college is up coming so I’m a long ways to go pray for me or wish me luck!

[kimturner]

These tips are gold! It's making me excited to teach history!

[zaakirabridges]

Thank you for sharing, youre awesome! I love history too!

[berenicemartinez]

Thanks girl I’m going back to teaching middle school and I feel better prepared

[Eithne]

Thanks for the video. I am not a teacher, but I would have loved to have you as a teacher. The great thing is; I'm from Belgium, but the best history teacher I ever had was an American too. He was the best and used many methods you just quoted. My history teachers when I was in middle and high school just bored me to death... (and I always loved history, I'm a medieval reenactor when that stupid virus doesn't prevent gatherings or feasts). When I was at school all had to be learned by heart and she spoke with that droning voice... aaargh! Your way of explaining and having kids remember is better. Thank you

[masklophobic]

Love it! I'm not going to be a history teacher but the principal still applies! Make my subject fun, interactive, and relevant, never stop learning and being up to date with my content was what I took away from this. Loved this video. Very important for anyone! As you said being a history teaches has a stigma about it. Same with my subject. So this can go for any subject that has a... stereotypical resented look to it! Thank you so much for this!

I taught social studies for approximately three years, what I understand from today's children, don't be too careless or stiff, look for what is happening at the moment whether starting from trends or news, then combine it with the material you will teach as best you can perhaps, always connected to their preferences but firm and fun. the latter always prioritizes what students need now, not what you need. sometimes they don't care about our expertise, but it's how we convey it that they hear.

Hi I’m 17 and am going to be a senior this year for my high school! I want to go to college to become a History teacher because I LOVE history!!!! Anyway I was wondering if you could do a video on what’s best to deal with student when they misbehave/don’t respect you? Also your very beautiful!

I majored in Humanities, but I think that I’m going to get a certification for either History or English. I’m torn. Lol
