Classroom Management for Teaching Preschool EFL/ESL (3-6yrs)

As teachers, we all want our classes to be filled with happy children learning English. And we know it takes many different skills, such as classroom management skills, to make that happen. These skills keep our classes organized so our students know what do and how to succeed so everyone (including the teacher!) can have a great time in class. And, they're especially important in early childhood English as a Foreign/Second Language (EFL/ESL) classes because preschool children have to learn in a language they don't always understand.

Master Early Childhood Education Classroom Management for Awesome English Classes

In this course you will:

• learn what children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old need, how they develop, and how this affects their behavior in class.

• discover how to build great relationships with and among your Very Young Learners (VYLs).

• identify how to use routines, rules, praise, and behavior management systems so your preschool students know how to get along well in class.

• learn how to arrange your classroom and lesson time to maximize good behavior

• learn how to handle times when children make mistakes and how to help them to do better.

I designed this course to help new and experienced English teachers use positive, practical, and effective techniques so all of their students have a chance to enjoy learning in their classes. For example, you will learn how to structure your lessons to balance your students' energy levels, organize routines to make your lessons flow smoothly, and even give instructions so everyone is on the same page.

However, this is not a entry-level Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification course. It does not include sections on topics like how to teach vocabulary, grammar, or skills like reading and writing.

I have also arranged this course so you can watch it in any order you like, so pick and choose the sections that are most interesting to you.

After a short introduction of the instructor and the course, the first section will cover what makes this group of students unique. It will also cover what important information about your students and teaching context you will need to find out and consider for yourself. The next section will cover the 5 Basic Needs and how this relate to small children.  Later sections will then cover practical information about building rapport, developing and using routines, and creating effective lessons and learning spaces. The last major section will cover how to handle poor behavior, with a focus on a few case studies. All of this information and techniques will work for classes of 5 to 45 students.

This course also includes informative handouts and questions for you to consider. By the end of this course you will have had the opportunity to think through many key issues, choose solutions, and develop a classroom management plan for yourself.

By the end of this course, you will have all the tools you need to create a great, well-run class for your students so everyone can successfully learn!
