I am creating "calm down" area(s) in my art classrooms with activities for temporary isolation of trauma-impacted or unruly students. Have you tried this strategy yourself? I'm very interested in your thoughts. What tips, if any, do you have to share regarding use of such a space while supporting inclusiveness? I teach students of which a high percentage are unable to focus or succeed when seated in a small three-four member group. I tried seating the problem students near my desk, but it turned into a crowd of six or more, which is impracticable for art project creating. I am also working with a restorative justice staff member and administrators on this space to obtain constructive feedback. Thank you for all you do for us!
Hi, Eric! I'm a 1-st year teacher. And I'm so grateful for your videos. Many thanks for sharing the experience, I've started to use it on a regular basis! And my top 1 problem as a newbie is that kids think I'm kind and tend to misbehave at the lessons.
Hi Eric, I’m a new english teacher in Taiwan, i’ve been here for about 4 months now but my God, It was tough at the start my kids were out of control! thankfully my classroom management has been a lot better although i still struggle and have new challenges. Still very grateful for the journey and grateful for your videos :)
Hi Shan! Thank you for your message. It sounds like it's very difficult. One thing that remains true about teaching is that we get better, even if the kids don't. ;) Keep at it and it'll become easier!
Gosh! I'm also a new teacher. And dude I'm not able to control the students honestly. Many a times management has warned me about this. Can you please please help me in classroom management?
Hi Eric, I just watched your video, and I can relate to everything you said in the video. I am a first-year teacher, and one of my biggest challenges is engaging students in the lesson and the need to want them to like me. I struggle with class management a bit, but my skills got better. However, I still have challenges. Thank you for your video, it really helped me.
For me, it's classroom management. I am absolutely struggling with my class I am student teaching. I'm so close to the end but I don't want to just leave them with them being rowdy. I do all of the mistakes, with shouting, and the silent treatment. I have looked at your other videos to try and make myself better. It is a bit harder as a student teacher when my mentor barely helps with me and I make the mistakes a teacher has. I want to make sure I am able to do what I want to when I start my own job as a teacher. Hopefully with my own class, I can plan how I want to.
Hello Eric, I just watched this video and I wrote down everything that you've mentioned, however I think this is one of the best videos i've seen about teaching 💕and I want to mention that I'm a new English teacher " this is my first year" so I'll try to apply everything you've mentioned and I guess it'll pay off for sure, so thank you so much teacher Eric
Thank you for the words of support. I live in Russia and I am the second year teacher, teach private face-to-face and on-line lessons. Your videos and streams help and teach me a lot. You help me to stay self-confident and believe in myself. Precious tips! I am really happy that I've met you.
My problem is that I have to start teaching in high schools with no pedagogical or practical training (it's standard to start with that after 1-2 years of teaching on upper secondary school level in the country I live in). This means that I have almost no knowledge about the practical aspects of teaching. This is the reason I really appreciate your videos, because they're specific enough to be useful to a beginner like myself.
I'm grateful for your words, it's the type of video I needed to watch for keeping up doing what I like to do, Teaching. I'm in my social service from the university and I'm teaching English to young learners, and let me tell you that it's been so difficult because one of the toughest things I'm facing are my students absences, they don't always attend to classes and sometimes I also feel disappointed for all the issues that are around me, but you have helped me to understand things I couldn't get before.
I am a new teacher.I have 3 students in my class. My biggest challenge is the student engagement and lesson flow. I spend all night making my own lesson plan. My glow part is making activity. My student don't like lesson time and they find it boring. They only enjoy learning with my activity.I feel so down when I don't find any progress in their learning.I feel like I'm not doing the great job for them.
My greatest challenge is classroom management, especially with the young children. I teach English in Japan and getting small children to follow simple directions as a whole week after week is always been a challenge. There are always one or two kids that would rather run around the room or crawl under the table than follow along with the lesson.
Thank you so, so much for this! I'm at my first year being a school teacher and some of the things you said were really meaningful to me. One challenge that I have is structuring my materials and organizing stuff ahead of time. It always feels like I'm late and that I don't have enough time.
Yes, it's difficult to get ourselves to do something. I would suggest putting 1 hour aside where you will only lesson plan per week. Find a quite place, free of distractions, grab a coffee, put away your phone and knuckle down. 😄 I have the same problem to focus, so I go to a study cafe with people around me.
Thank you so much Eric for your helpful videos. Keep it up ✌️ One of my biggest challenges is balancing the different learning needs of students. As each one's level differs from the other.
Hi Chaimae! I know it's tough with mixed-level students. I made this video on how to teach mixed level classes... I hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/VmZqWNqtC4E/видео.html
Hello Eric, thank you for your videos, my challenge is how do I schedule for a 1hour 30 minutes class session, what activities can i do to keep my learners engaged, my new school does not offer scheduled activities, i have to work them out on my own. I'm having a challenge because where i used to teach we had 30minutes sessions for each lesson.
Hello teacher.Thank you for all your help.I really appreciate 😊.My biggest problem is that I'm teaching English as a foreign language in the primary school, and I'm supposed to speak English only,so how can I explain the instructions 😢
Hi Eric.... I'm from India and have been watching your videos for few weeks you r amzing... I'm a new teacher of kinderwing in my school. I have some problems that how to get understand the students about the lesson exactly... Some students are very much naghty how to handle them.. And how to work finish my class work like diary work and class work... I'm so slow now a days..
Hi! I know exactly how it feels to have difficult students in class. I made this long video about classroom management. Hopefully it can give you some ideas on how to deal with it. Good luck! ruclips.net/video/sEQKFmBfBcU/видео.html
Some student simply do not understand themes. For example, today I taught a guy, he couldn't understand "Present Continuous". I couldn't imagine, that it is possible to don't get what "Present Continuous" is
Hi Eric.I am a first year teacher.I have 5 students which I teach them English at my home.I have a problem with 2 of them.they aren't very interested in learning actually their mom forced them to come to the class.how can I make them interested in learning?
Hi MR! Make class fun, engaging and practical. If you can teach them with content relevant to their lives, use activities that involve them and make it useful within the context of their lives, they have no choice but to become invested in learning. :)
I'm not a teacher yet i still study English at the university . I haven't got the chance to teach yet . and i really don't know where to start because due to pandemic we didnt study much . our univeristy studies are mainly about English literature and history linguistics...etc which I enjoy studying but I dont see how they are going to help since we never tackled how we cshould teach ESL i feel lost......
Hi there. I am a english teaching student in university and I am an observer since a month ago without any experience.I have taught some parts of the book in the class but i haven't done it well.my voice is low i cant speak loudly in public and i cant make a good realationship with the students. I am confused i dont know what I should do.I all time think about it that my teaching in that tow session was awful so that students dont accept me and respect me anymore.please, I really need someone tells me something that can help me.
@@etacude Thank you for your videos!!! You know, I have just started watching your videos. I think that when you explain you speak as if there are your students in front of you and it is really good, at least, for me. 😁😁😁 I hope to get more success thanks to your videos.
When I was writing down everything in China, even teachers looked at me in a weird manner... I do not know why buy the fact that I was always writing maybe irritated them a bit. 😂😂😂
The best advice to new teachers is to quit right now before you’ve wasted too much time on this going nowhere occupation which will eventually be automated out of existence.
I have been teaching 4 years, almost noone listen to me but i think my problems are not that my lesson is not interesting, my problem is little distance with children, how can i fix it?
I teach secondary school , most of students have weak level in grammar , I have 45 minuts only to teach them . It's hard . So l need advice . Good luck our teacher.
Hi Jala, sorry I've missed your request, but I'm just too busy my friend. Check out the list of videos and also articles on Etateach.com. Best of luck.
What challenges to you have in your classes?
How can we keep a very crowded class in a complete calm until the end of the hour?

I shudder to think of my first year teaching! 😁 I definitely took too much advice in the beginning, trying to follow every teacher’s style.
We often give other people too much control. We should trust ourselves more. 👍
@@etacude please help me and advise me how to speak English language fluently . I'm from Arabic county and i'm a teacher of English language.

Hi! Like as always. Hello from Samira Morocco
I can't thank you enough Sir ❤️
Thank you for this
I am not very fluent speaker, so I am anxious about facing the problem of missunderstanding from students what shall I do?
Don't worry. Write it on the board, go slowly and give them examples and lots of practice. That should make it a bit easier. Good luck, Smaoui!

Hello, any recommendations for career focused books?
"If a student ask me a question and I don't know the answer and he won't respect me or trust me anymore."
This is my biggest fear.
Teachers don't always have the answers but if you don't know it is alright to tell them and maybe they will respect you for the truth.
Can you suggest some books about to understand students behaviour?
Is there a possibility that I could get your book pdf??

The best advice to new teachers is to quit right now before you’ve wasted too much time on this going nowhere occupation which will eventually be automated out of existence.
We';; all be automated out of existence at some point, no matter our career. lol
But we need to teach and put food on the table, somehow.
I have been teaching 4 years, almost noone listen to me but i think my problems are not that my lesson is not interesting, my problem is little distance with children, how can i fix it?
Everyone listens to me when i start class at first few months but than they don't
I teach secondary school , most of students have weak level in grammar , I have 45 minuts only to teach them . It's hard . So l need advice . Good luck our teacher.
Go through my playlist for relevant topics! Best of luck!
My problem is number 9 :)
Good to know - now it can be improved. :)
