Manage Your Classes So Students Can Succeed
Do you want to have orderly classes filled with happy students learning and practicing English?
As teachers, we all want our students to be able to enjoy learning and succeed in our classes. And we know it takes a lot of different skills, like classroom management skills, to make that happen.
Effective classroom management keeps our classes organized so students know what do and how to succeed so everyone can have a great time in class. And, it is especially important in English as a Foreign/Second Language (EFL/ESL) classes because students have to learn in a language they don’t always understand.
Sadly, though, not every teacher training program or Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course spends a lot of time on classroom management. Maybe you’ve already learned the basics like how to teach vocabulary and grammar, how to write a lesson plan, and some games and activities that students seem to like, but you want to know how to keep a classroom filled with kids learning and behaving well. You might have some ideas and skills, but you’re looking for more.
For more than a decade I’ve worked with many teachers who wanted to improve their teaching and classroom management skills. They were frustrated because they weren’t able to achieve everything they wanted in their classes. Sometimes they had noisy, chaotic classrooms or students who couldn’t focus. Other times they just seemed to run out of time because it took so long to organize activities. Or they wanted to know how to get students to put in a better effort.
And I know how they were feeling because I felt that exact frustration many years ago as a new teacher.
Fortunately, after years of experience, research, and practice, I’ve found a set of practical ideas and techniques that have helped me and hundreds of other teachers who’ve attended my workshops organize our classes and enjoy better lessons. These ideas are focused on understanding our students’ needs and abilities, and then using effective teaching techniques to meet those needs and use those abilities so children behave well in our classes.
Now, I’ve developed a course on Classroom Management to share these ideas with you in an easily accessible format on the popular learning site, Udemy.com.
This 6.5 hour course is for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers with anywhere between 5 and 45 primary school students between the ages of 6 and 11.
When you purchase the course you can watch lectures at any time and learn the ideas and techniques you can use to successfully manage your lessons, your students, and their behavior. This course will help you better understand your students, their needs, and why they misbehave. It will give you concrete, actionable suggestions for how to build better relationships with them, help them behave well, and create an environment where they want to get along with you and their classmates.
After finishing this course you will be confident & comfortable going into your classes, whether they’re small or large.

Who is this course for?
This course is designed for Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) teachers who want effective, positive, non-coercive methods for creating productive learning environments by understanding their students and meeting their needs.
This course is especially for EFL teachers with less than three years of teaching experience, though many more experienced teachers have found it very useful as well.
This is not an entry-level TEFL certification course; you should already have a teaching degree or a TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certificate to get the most out of this course.
This is a lecture course meant for a wide audience in any country and it doesn’t have lots of advanced vocabulary, but teachers should have strong English listening skills in order to easily follow along.
