A Day in the Life of a High School Teacher 

First Period starts at 4:45 SnapChat: morganap_hist Twitter: morgan_ap_hist (twitter.com/morgan_ap_hist) IG: morgan.ap.teaching (instagram.com/morgan.ap.teaching/) Website: morganapteaching.com/ Teachers Pay Teachers Store: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Morgan-Ap-Teaching Just a brief video of a normal day in April! I teach AP World History, AP European History, AP US History, AP Psychology, World History, United States History, Psychology, Government/Civics, and Economics. Hopefully this video provided some insight as to what a teacher’s day looks like! I’ll be making more videos of the sort, as well as some that are meant to help guide new teachers on their path. Whether you’re a new or experienced teacher, feel free to check out my resources in the link above, and make sure to follow me on social media for memes, materials, and as someone who can answer your questions! Make sure to turn it up a little bit! I only had my phone to shoot with so some of the distant audio is a little bit quiet.

2 things i learned from this video: 1) they dont pay you enough and 2) this makes me excited to be a teacher

I really like your idea of listening to audio books in the morning on the way to work to get your mind working and occupied on fresh ideas. I do this all of the time and it really helps. I recommend this to any new teacher. Listen to something cerebral that will stimulate the mind.

welp, i'm a senior college student, aged 29... bc i screwed around in my early 20s... and finding this channel was an absolute blessing... thank you so much for your work.

Man you do a lot more during your lunch + planning than I do. That is my designated nap time.

You subbed for my class before just overall the best on campus. And who doesn’t like a teacher who likes rock and metal! I think that’s pretty cool!

I’m also a male teacher. I enjoy your content quite a bit! I’ve been rocking audio books on my ride in to work for the past year! I also vlog about my experience. Thanks for sharing!

Hi. I am a history teacher too. So happy finding ur channel ❤ all the best always.

oh what’d i’d give to go back in time to 2019 and start my mornings with Mr. Morgan’s world history class! Hope you’re doing well Mr. Morgan! (i’m the one you asked to see where their phone was🤦‍♂️😂)

Love the question: "How do you know about all this stuff Mr. D??" Me: "After college ask me that same question"

I have always treated my teachers (even the asshole ones) with respect because dealing with TEENAGERS especially the class clowns, is EXHAUSTING. Kudos to you dude ✨👏🏽 I love you’re stache

Your mustache is poppin ❤️😂

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m starting my first semester this fall in the education program at my college and going to pursue a high school social studies teacher career! This is very helpful for students that are interested in the education field

you’re the only male teacher i’ve seen who has good handwriting and i’ve only had one female teacher since i started high school 💀

I’m currently 16 and I’m hoping to become a high school history teacher!

Hi, I'm a brazilian history teacher in elementary and high school. I really enjoyed your video. It is very curious and interesting to notice the similarities in the daily lives of teachers in different cultures.

I tip my hat to this teacher for his dedication and enthusiasm. Basic questions: A. Aside from exams, do students ever have to work independently? B. Do students no longer raise their hand to speak? And C. Are the students ever required to cease from talking during the time the teacher teaches? (I'm old and I’m remembering my high school years and how different I think things may be now. Thanks for answering my three questions.)

That is a very intriguing moustache. Not in a bad way. You look like one of the 3 Musketeers lol.

You forgot the part at the end where you start writing your resignation letter.

Just beginning my teaching journey teaching AP World History and World History. I wanted to let you know I’ve been appreciating your videos. Thanks for your extra work!

I am currently studying to be a history teacher and I this video put a smile on my face. what you do is great!

i would love to see more vlog style videos from you! really interesting to hear from different perspectives and environments and you don't see a lot of high school teachers making this type of content. thanks for posting!

I graduated high school class of 2019 and I’ve recently been thinking about becoming a history teacher, is it worth it?

Very Helpful video. I was going to volunteer at a high school to see if I would enjoy teaching but quarantine started. Thank you!

Enjoyed watching this. I have considered doing something similar, but I don't think I could do it justice. This was very well executed. Keep up the great work.

so this is the life of best teacher 👌

I graduated highschool in 2018 working on becoming a history teacher

Hey man, nice vid! I'm about to graduate college with my Bachelors and I am thinking of pursuing my Masters so that I can potentially teach at the college level and work my way up to eventually, pursue my PhD. Anyways, before I do all that, I am interested in teaching high school so that I can have foot through the door, that way, I will be a much more competitive candidate when applying to grad school. But your vid was very informative and entertaining to watch. Keep making good content!

Great insight into what it’s like to teach. I’m considering entering the field in the next 4 years. It would be my second career after serving in the Army for 30 years. I’d be 55 on the first day of school. I’m concerned about my ability to connect. I’m excited about being a positive influence in kids lives. What would you think about an old guy showing up to teach?

You are able to teach so many different classes and that’s amazing. How do you manage those lessons plan throughout semester?

I’m a high school junior and in the future, I plan on being a high school English teacher ❤️📕😊

i know this is several years old but i am almost done with my degree in history hopign to teach at one our local schools next year

This video was very informative. I'm a sophomore in college to be a history teacher. It does seem harder of a job than I previously thought but the way you interact with students makes me excited to be in that position.

I'm excited to be a history teacher😁 Hoping to teach High School History. More than likely discussing the Cold War as my emphasis is on the Korean War/Cold War in general. Do you usually grade assignments daily, or could you grade them on the weekends?

Wow!! So glad I found your channel! Thank you for showing all that we go through in a single day to prepare our students for life!! I teach middle school, but this is still so helpful and inspirational. ✊🏽

I wanna be a history teacher! I love history so friken much and I want to teach it to some future brats as well :>

These kids lol. Good luck on that AP exam, gonna need it

How do you teach so many AP subjects? Also, is there any certification you need to be able to teach an AP subject as supposed to honors or on level? Great video!

I learned more in this video than I did in my other classes.

history is so awesome, not sure if I will become a teacher, but what an important and good job, teachers really do shape the future and for that I respect all teachers even the mean or boring ones.

I’m leaning on becoming a history teacher, but I don’t know if I need to get my master’s in education or History.

I can t wait the graduation moment to become a history teacher

A Morgan vlog??? 0.o

I want to become a teacher bc there have been so many teachers in my high school who made my day better, but my parents want me to be realistic as well and prefer I major in something else bc the teacher salary is not so great

What if you catch a student playing Fortnite during class? Will you let them try get a victory royale or will you ask them to put their phone away?

Awesome video! I’m studying to become a teacher starting the 3rd of August. Ancient and Modern History major

I'm a new teacher and I so relate to the crazy schedule, especially since i teach IB.

I'm almost 15 and I really want to be a history teacher when I'm older since I'm really interested in history. Should I go for it? I live in Canada

A more honest way to approach the 'conspiracy theories' may be to tell them "you have to decide for yourself at the end of the day." (Because that's the truth, you're just relaying information.)

The mustache is the first thing that would make you my favorite

I’m going to become a teacher soon, and omg you’re rocking it! I’m lowkey nervous, but your video is super inspiring!

Love this guys teaching methods

Hey I am a junior in my undergrad and am planning to become a history teacher, I hear a lot that being a history teacher has a high competition rate, is this true and what are some ways to stand out? I really don't want to be coerced in teaching other subjects. Thanks for the videos and time! Great content!

I wanted to hear the AP Psych lecture!

lol on the tie breaker dude youre being to easy on them ;p

I’m gonna teach social studies one day, it’s been my goal for a while

Is that a dragonball poster?

I want to teach but scared if students won't like me. Especially cause I want to go into LOTE and Maths which people usually hate...

I am a high school teacher and the best part of my day is when I leave the school for home at 4pm

First, congrats on the son 😁 and I was just wondering, I want to be a history teacher in the future, I’ll be in high school next year and I was wondering if you think taking AP classes is worth it?

New sub here! Thanks for sharing. I added you to my "Male Teachers" playlist! Yay!

This is inspiring

I have been thinking about becoming a history teacher. Teaching seems like it could be fun and it would be nice to helps students but I'm kind of nervous. Is there anything to be nervous about?

I thought first period started at 7:30 am

Great Job

How long did it take to become a highschool history teacher? And do you think it is a good career now with the pandemic?

Hello teacher....how old are the students to be in a high school out there ??

All School Teachers should work 12 months a year. When classes are not in session, Teachers could do Administrative work and perform other tasks, based on their skill-pool attributes. In the long run, this would save School Districts money in that they wouldn't have to hire as many people to perform non-teaching jobs. Physical plant duties could also be done in that manor. Simplistically hat better way to fix the furnace, by a Shop Teacher with help from Industrial Arts Students (if in session). Schools being self-sufficient, will minimal exceptions, is not only good & practical education, but more cost effective & easing the tax burdens on residents of the District. Any to be more cost-effective to a School District, WITHOUT compromising the Educational standards for the students, would be a feather in the cap for the learning process. School Districts, based on their relative student body size, should not have to have an Assistant Principal in EACH school building. They should travel back & forth between the schools, on an as-needed basis. Another and even more practical cost-cutting measure was mentioned at the onset of this writing. The idea of utilizing School Teachers all year long would be a PROFOUND way of Districts getting more-bang-for-the-buck. Hypothetical situation: If a Teacher was employed by a School District for 40 years, they only actually performed 30 years of work. Another much-needed change, for School Districts in general, would be to contour sessions based on the local weather. In other words, in School Districts that ensure harsh winters, have the three-month-off sessions then. It would not only be more practical with respect to not having snow days or putting students & bus drivers at risk, but also taking away the necessity to have so much time off for the Holidays. It would be a win-win situation for all. I'm surprised this has never been implemented in the past?

I’m pursuing teaching but have my bachelors in another subject and have been stressing if I can learn enough history to be proficient enough to teach? How in depth do you go on every topic? I can’t remember how in depth we went when I was in school lol

Why is there a Norway flag on the wall?

You seem like one of the best teachers your so calm ,nice, passionate , and your very cute 😍

Ayyy you can hear me in this video and in my defense I thought we were answering the question

Wait. How do you teach history AND psychology? The content of those subjects are vastly different. I didn’t go to school for education, so I’m curious as to how that works. That’s like me teaching chemistry, even though I have a master’s degree in computer science. Do you have degrees in both?

You have a t.a. to help you grade? It sounds glorious.

so how do you teach 9 classes is it like a day bday c day or are there 9 periods I'm just confused like do you even get a break

It is really nice to see another high school teacher that teaches something other than English on RU-vid.

Is it important to major in multiple subjects before you become a teacher?

his beard reminds me of the old musketeers movie actors

respect

Could you explain your economics game in more detail??

Wrong. History is written by the victors.

How on earth do you get a TA?! I want one.

I'm in grade 10 and I really wanna be a history teacher

Hey how many class u take per week or how many hours u teach per week

Where do you teach at ?

Hay quá

OMG DO U TEACH IN FRESNO I LIVE THERE

This is AP and the year that WW2 ended isn't an instant answer?! No disrespect to your process and hustle, just seems odd.

I am also non history teacher in india🇮🇳

Sick mustache dude

That yt algorithm hitting

Great video but I don’t think we would get along.

Me in 2 and a half years

What state are you teaching out of?

I know my ww2 facts I answered all your ww2 questions

Nice Wallpaper
