What are the goals of classroom management? What do you think are the most important principles of classroom management?

When we talk about classroom management, we can not avoid to talk about applying DISCIPLINE in classrooms.

All of the students behave in different ways in a school community, that`s why teachers have to know how to deal with different behaviors, and how to solve problems inside a classroom.

When misbehavior is reduced, the way is clear to efficient learning. Students who behave in a wrong way could need attention in socially acceptable ways.

Teachers could use the following principles in order to practice an effective classroom management:

- Focus  your attention on entire class.

- Silence can be effective.

- Direct your instruction so that students know what is going to happen.

- Monitor groups of students to check progress.

- Move around the room so that students have to pay attention more readily.

- Make sure classroom is comfortable and safe.

- Come to class prepared.

- Show confidence in your teaching.

- Learn student names as quickly as possible.

- Develop strategies for implementing a discipline plan

- Design an effective lesson plan per each class.

- Take the control of the class.

- Come in with enthusiasm and show you are excited to be there.

- Promote values in the classroom.
