Information Sheet
Being an Effective Classroom Manager
Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. identify the key competencies of a classroom manager; and
2. identify methods for managing time in the classroom
Classroom Management is a critical responsibility of every trainer. It
entails procedures and instructional techniques that are used to establish
and maintain a classroom environment, which is conducive to learning. The
three main elements of classroom management are: Managing time in the
classroom, Managing classroom environment, and Managing
people/learners.
Before you proceed, let’s first check the result is your current
classroom management profile. Your score for each management style can
range from 3 to15. A high score indicates a strong preference for that
particular style. After you have scored your quiz, and determined your
profile, read the descriptions of each management style. You may see a
little bit of yourself in each one.
As you gain teaching experience, you may find that your preferred
style(s) will change. Over time, your profile may become more diverse or
more focused. Also, it may be suitable to rely upon a specific style when
addressing a particular situation or subject. A successful trainer is one who
can evaluate a situation and then apply the appropriate style. Finally,
remember that the intent of this exercise is to inform you and arouse your
curiosity regarding classroom management styles.”
Competencies of a Classroom Manager
Now that you know what kind of management style you have, let’s
take a deeper look at each. The four main classroom management profiles
are discussed below:
1. Authoritarian
The authoritarian trainer places firm limits and controls on the
students. Students will often have assigned seats for the entire
training/course. The seats are usually arranged in straight rows and there
are no deviations. Students are expected to come to class on time, and
maintain silence throughout the class. This trainer neither likes to be

interrupted, nor encourages any verbal exchange and discussion amongst
the students. This trainer prefers vigorous discipline and expects swift
obedience. Failure to obey usually results in disciplinary action. In this
classroom, students need to follow directions and not ask why. The
authoritarian trainer gives no indication that he/she cares for the students.
Mrs. Doe is a good example of an authoritarian
teacher. Her students receive praise and
encouragement infrequently, if at all. Also, she
makes no effort to organize activities. She feels
that these special events only distract the students
from learning. Mrs. Doe believes students need
only listen to her lecture to gain the necessary
knowledge. Students in this class are likely to be
reluctant to initiate activity, since they may feel
powerless. Mrs. Doe tells the students what to do
and when to do it. She makes all classroom decisions. Therefore, her style
does little to increase achievement motivation or encourage the setting of
personal goals.
A student reacts to this teaching style:
“I don’t really care for this teacher. She is really strict and doesn’t seem to
want to give her students a fair chance”
2. Authoritative
The authoritative trainer places limits and controls on the students
but simultaneously encourages independence. This trainer often explains
the reason behind the rules and decisions, and if a student is disruptive,
offers a polite, but firm, reprimand. This trainer sometimes metes out
discipline but only after careful consideration of the circumstances.
The authoritative trainer is also open to considerable verbal
interaction, including critical debates. The students know that they can
interrupt the trainer if they have a relevant question or comment. This
environment offers the students the opportunity to learn and practice
communication skills.
Ms. Smith exemplifies the authoritative teaching style. She exhibits a
warm and nurturing attitude toward the students
and expresses genuine interest and affection. Her
classroom abounds with praise and
encouragement. She often offers positive remarks
to students. This authoritative teacher encourages
self-reliant and socially competent behavior and
fosters higher achievement motivation. Often, she

will guide the students through a project, rather than lead them.
A student reacts to this teaching style:
“I like this trainer. She is fair and understands that students can’t be
perfect. She is the kind of teacher you can talk to without being put down
or feeling embarrassed.”
3. Laissez-faire
The laissez-faire trainer places few demand or controls on the
students. “Do your own thing” describes this classroom. This trainer
accepts the student’s impulses and actions and is less likely to monitor their
behavior. Mr. Jones uses a laissez-faire style. He strives to not hurt the
students’ feelings and has difficulty saying no to a student or enforcing
rules. If a student disrupts the class, Mr. Jones may assume that he is not
giving the student enough attention. When a student interrupts a lecture,
Mr. Jones accepts it with the belief that the student must surely have
something valuable to add. When he does offer discipline, it is likely to
inconsistent.
Mr. Jones is very involved with his students and cares for them very
much. He is more concerned with the students' emotional well-being than
he is with classroom control. He sometimes bases classroom decisions on
his students’ feelings rather than on their academic concerns.
Mr. Jones wants to be the students' friend. He may even encourage
contact outside the classroom. He has a difficult time establishing
boundaries between his professional life and his personal life.
However, this overindulgent style is associated with students’ lack of
social competence and self-control. It is difficult for students to learn
socially acceptable behavior when the teacher is so permissive. With few
demands placed upon them, these students frequently have lower
motivation to achieve. Regardless, students often like this teacher.
A student reacts to this teaching style:
“This is a pretty popular teacher. You don't have to be serious throughout
the class. But sometimes things get out of control and we learn nothing at
all.”

4. Indifferent
The indifferent trainer is not very
involved in the classroom. This
trainer places few demands, if any,
on the students and appears
generally uninterested. This trainer
does not take the necessary
preparation time for instructional
activities and may even use the same
materials, year after year.
Also, classroom discipline is lacking.
This trainer may lack the skills, confidence, or courage to discipline
students. The students sense and reflect the teacher's indifferent attitude.
Accordingly, very little learning occurs. In this aloof environment, the
students have very few opportunities to observe or practice communication
skills. With few demands placed on them and very little discipline, students
have low achievement motivation and lack self-control.
According to one student:
“This trainer can't control the class and we never learn anything in there.
There is hardly ever homework and people rarely bring their books.”
Mrs. Johnson is a good example of an indifferent trainer. She uses
the same lesson plans every year, never bothering to update them. For her,
each day is the same. She lectures for the first twenty minutes of class.
Sometimes she will show a film or a slideshow. When she does, it becomes
a substitute for her lecture, not a supplement. If there is any time left (and
there always is) she allows students to study quietly and to talk softly. As
long as they don't bother her, she doesn't mind what they do. As far as she
is concerned, the students are responsible for their own education.
Managing Classroom Time Effectively
“I wish I had more time!”
“If only I could manage my time better!”
Do the above statements echo your time related woes as a trainer? If
yes, you are not alone! Teaching comprises of several time-consuming
activities, and the paucity of time is one of the biggest challenges that you
will face as trainers.
Classroom Time Categorization
The first step to maximizing time resource in the classroom is to
understand how time in the classroom can be best divided for various
activities for optimum utilization. Effective time allocation in a classroom is

critical in helping students achieve learning goals and in making the
classroom a pleasant place to be for trainers and students alike.
Time Management is a key element of Classroom Management, and as such
involves curriculum planning, organizing routine procedures, organizing
resources; monitoring and recording student progress; and maintaining
student behavior related problems to a minimum. Therefore, it follows, that
a good instructional program requires efficient use of time.
Methods for Managing Time in the Classroom
Classroom time management is the bigger picture, of which meeting
daily class objectives is a part. Remember that you are teaching a course
and not just a one-day class. This way, you will remain focused on the
learning objectives of the complete course as you plan your lessons and your
schedule.
 Define training objectives, activities and exercises for the day:
Establish and prioritize activities for the day and also share with your
students the training objectives for the day. Additionally, provide an
outline of the activities and exercises you intend to do and the amount
of time allotted for each activity.
 Identify potential training problems: When planning your lessons,
make sure to review your material thoroughly and do the exercises
and problem sets yourself first in order to find out potential problems
and exercises that may cause delay.
 Identify timekeeping issues as you prepare your lesson: Before you
enter the classroom, you should have a fair estimate of how long a
particular discussion will last; the ensuing follow-up questions; and
the points that result from the activity. Allow more time for complex
or difficult concepts and exercises.
 Stay aware of the time as you train: Take a quick look at your
watch or clock from time to time to ensure you’re not running behind.
Mark your lesson plan with indicators of the approximate times you
expect to spend on specific topics.
 Act as moderator for discussions in the classroom: As a moderator,
your role is to move the discussion at the right pace and in the right
direction, thereby saving time.
 Lesson Plan: Planning and shaping a lesson begins much before the
actual delivering of it in a classroom. Trainers think over what they
must do in the class, and also what their students must do. Take the
breaks as per your lesson plan, and start on time after the breaks.
Late returns will see that you start on time and will accordingly adjust
their behavior.

Classroom management, as applied to training, involves everything
that a trainer must do to carry out his/her teaching objectives. It includes
preparation of plans and materials, structuring of activities into time blocks,
direct teaching of skills and subject matter, grouping of pupils to provide
for the most efficient use of teacher and pupil time, plans for transition
periods--changing from one activity to another or from one place to another-
-pupil involvement and motivation, and adequate control of pupil behavior.
Therefore, classroom management is a process that entails actions taken to
create an environment that supports and facilitates academic and social–
emotional learning.
Classroom management as a process also consists of key tasks that
trainers must attend to in order to development an environment conducive
to learning. These tasks include:
(1) Organizing the physical environment,
(2) Establishing rules and routines,
(3) Developing caring relationships,
(4) Implementing engaging instruction and
(5) Preventing and responding to discipline problems.
Failure to address classroom management issues leads to frustration,
ineffectiveness and failure. In contrast, effective classroom management
results in the coupling of order and learning.

  • 3. Trainers Methodology Plus Facilitate Learning Sessions Date Developed: September 2012 Document No: Issued by: Page 3 of 11Developed by: BPAP Revision # Information Sheet Being an Effective Classroom Manager Learning Objectives: After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to: 1. identify the key competencies of a classroom manager; and 2. identify methods for managing time in the classroom Classroom Management is a critical responsibility of every trainer. It entails procedures and instructional techniques that are used to establish and maintain a classroom environment, which is conducive to learning. The three main elements of classroom management are: Managing time in the classroom, Managing classroom environment, and Managing people/learners. Before you proceed, let’s first check the result is your current classroom management profile. Your score for each management style can range from 3 to15. A high score indicates a strong preference for that particular style. After you have scored your quiz, and determined your profile, read the descriptions of each management style. You may see a little bit of yourself in each one. As you gain teaching experience, you may find that your preferred style(s) will change. Over time, your profile may become more diverse or more focused. Also, it may be suitable to rely upon a specific style when addressing a particular situation or subject. A successful trainer is one who can evaluate a situation and then apply the appropriate style. Finally, remember that the intent of this exercise is to inform you and arouse your curiosity regarding classroom management styles.” Competencies of a Classroom Manager Now that you know what kind of management style you have, let’s take a deeper look at each. The four main classroom management profiles are discussed below: 1. Authoritarian The authoritarian trainer places firm limits and controls on the students. Students will often have assigned seats for the entire training/course. The seats are usually arranged in straight rows and there are no deviations. Students are expected to come to class on time, and maintain silence throughout the class. This trainer neither likes to be
  • 4. Trainers Methodology Plus Facilitate Learning Sessions Date Developed: September 2012 Document No: Issued by: Page 4 of 11Developed by: BPAP Revision # interrupted, nor encourages any verbal exchange and discussion amongst the students. This trainer prefers vigorous discipline and expects swift obedience. Failure to obey usually results in disciplinary action. In this classroom, students need to follow directions and not ask why. The authoritarian trainer gives no indication that he/she cares for the students. Mrs. Doe is a good example of an authoritarian teacher. Her students receive praise and encouragement infrequently, if at all. Also, she makes no effort to organize activities. She feels that these special events only distract the students from learning. Mrs. Doe believes students need only listen to her lecture to gain the necessary knowledge. Students in this class are likely to be reluctant to initiate activity, since they may feel powerless. Mrs. Doe tells the students what to do and when to do it. She makes all classroom decisions. Therefore, her style does little to increase achievement motivation or encourage the setting of personal goals. A student reacts to this teaching style: “I don’t really care for this teacher. She is really strict and doesn’t seem to want to give her students a fair chance” 2. Authoritative The authoritative trainer places limits and controls on the students but simultaneously encourages independence. This trainer often explains the reason behind the rules and decisions, and if a student is disruptive, offers a polite, but firm, reprimand. This trainer sometimes metes out discipline but only after careful consideration of the circumstances. The authoritative trainer is also open to considerable verbal interaction, including critical debates. The students know that they can interrupt the trainer if they have a relevant question or comment. This environment offers the students the opportunity to learn and practice communication skills. Ms. Smith exemplifies the authoritative teaching style. She exhibits a warm and nurturing attitude toward the students and expresses genuine interest and affection. Her classroom abounds with praise and encouragement. She often offers positive remarks to students. This authoritative teacher encourages self-reliant and socially competent behavior and fosters higher achievement motivation. Often, she
  • 5. Trainers Methodology Plus Facilitate Learning Sessions Date Developed: September 2012 Document No: Issued by: Page 5 of 11Developed by: BPAP Revision # will guide the students through a project, rather than lead them. A student reacts to this teaching style: “I like this trainer. She is fair and understands that students can’t be perfect. She is the kind of teacher you can talk to without being put down or feeling embarrassed.” 3. Laissez-faire The laissez-faire trainer places few demand or controls on the students. “Do your own thing” describes this classroom. This trainer accepts the student’s impulses and actions and is less likely to monitor their behavior. Mr. Jones uses a laissez-faire style. He strives to not hurt the students’ feelings and has difficulty saying no to a student or enforcing rules. If a student disrupts the class, Mr. Jones may assume that he is not giving the student enough attention. When a student interrupts a lecture, Mr. Jones accepts it with the belief that the student must surely have something valuable to add. When he does offer discipline, it is likely to inconsistent. Mr. Jones is very involved with his students and cares for them very much. He is more concerned with the students' emotional well-being than he is with classroom control. He sometimes bases classroom decisions on his students’ feelings rather than on their academic concerns. Mr. Jones wants to be the students' friend. He may even encourage contact outside the classroom. He has a difficult time establishing boundaries between his professional life and his personal life. However, this overindulgent style is associated with students’ lack of social competence and self-control. It is difficult for students to learn socially acceptable behavior when the teacher is so permissive. With few demands placed upon them, these students frequently have lower motivation to achieve. Regardless, students often like this teacher. A student reacts to this teaching style: “This is a pretty popular teacher. You don't have to be serious throughout the class. But sometimes things get out of control and we learn nothing at all.”
  • 6. Trainers Methodology Plus Facilitate Learning Sessions Date Developed: September 2012 Document No: Issued by: Page 6 of 11Developed by: BPAP Revision # 4. Indifferent The indifferent trainer is not very involved in the classroom. This trainer places few demands, if any, on the students and appears generally uninterested. This trainer does not take the necessary preparation time for instructional activities and may even use the same materials, year after year. Also, classroom discipline is lacking. This trainer may lack the skills, confidence, or courage to discipline students. The students sense and reflect the teacher's indifferent attitude. Accordingly, very little learning occurs. In this aloof environment, the students have very few opportunities to observe or practice communication skills. With few demands placed on them and very little discipline, students have low achievement motivation and lack self-control. According to one student: “This trainer can't control the class and we never learn anything in there. There is hardly ever homework and people rarely bring their books.” Mrs. Johnson is a good example of an indifferent trainer. She uses the same lesson plans every year, never bothering to update them. For her, each day is the same. She lectures for the first twenty minutes of class. Sometimes she will show a film or a slideshow. When she does, it becomes a substitute for her lecture, not a supplement. If there is any time left (and there always is) she allows students to study quietly and to talk softly. As long as they don't bother her, she doesn't mind what they do. As far as she is concerned, the students are responsible for their own education. Managing Classroom Time Effectively “I wish I had more time!” “If only I could manage my time better!” Do the above statements echo your time related woes as a trainer? If yes, you are not alone! Teaching comprises of several time-consuming activities, and the paucity of time is one of the biggest challenges that you will face as trainers. Classroom Time Categorization The first step to maximizing time resource in the classroom is to understand how time in the classroom can be best divided for various activities for optimum utilization. Effective time allocation in a classroom is
  • 7. Trainers Methodology Plus Facilitate Learning Sessions Date Developed: September 2012 Document No: Issued by: Page 7 of 11Developed by: BPAP Revision # critical in helping students achieve learning goals and in making the classroom a pleasant place to be for trainers and students alike. Time Management is a key element of Classroom Management, and as such involves curriculum planning, organizing routine procedures, organizing resources; monitoring and recording student progress; and maintaining student behavior related problems to a minimum. Therefore, it follows, that a good instructional program requires efficient use of time. Methods for Managing Time in the Classroom Classroom time management is the bigger picture, of which meeting daily class objectives is a part. Remember that you are teaching a course and not just a one-day class. This way, you will remain focused on the learning objectives of the complete course as you plan your lessons and your schedule.  Define training objectives, activities and exercises for the day: Establish and prioritize activities for the day and also share with your students the training objectives for the day. Additionally, provide an outline of the activities and exercises you intend to do and the amount of time allotted for each activity.  Identify potential training problems: When planning your lessons, make sure to review your material thoroughly and do the exercises and problem sets yourself first in order to find out potential problems and exercises that may cause delay.  Identify timekeeping issues as you prepare your lesson: Before you enter the classroom, you should have a fair estimate of how long a particular discussion will last; the ensuing follow-up questions; and the points that result from the activity. Allow more time for complex or difficult concepts and exercises.  Stay aware of the time as you train: Take a quick look at your watch or clock from time to time to ensure you’re not running behind. Mark your lesson plan with indicators of the approximate times you expect to spend on specific topics.  Act as moderator for discussions in the classroom: As a moderator, your role is to move the discussion at the right pace and in the right direction, thereby saving time.  Lesson Plan: Planning and shaping a lesson begins much before the actual delivering of it in a classroom. Trainers think over what they must do in the class, and also what their students must do. Take the breaks as per your lesson plan, and start on time after the breaks. Late returns will see that you start on time and will accordingly adjust their behavior.
  • 8. Trainers Methodology Plus Facilitate Learning Sessions Date Developed: September 2012 Document No: Issued by: Page 8 of 11Developed by: BPAP Revision # Classroom management, as applied to training, involves everything that a trainer must do to carry out his/her teaching objectives. It includes preparation of plans and materials, structuring of activities into time blocks, direct teaching of skills and subject matter, grouping of pupils to provide for the most efficient use of teacher and pupil time, plans for transition periods--changing from one activity to another or from one place to another- -pupil involvement and motivation, and adequate control of pupil behavior. Therefore, classroom management is a process that entails actions taken to create an environment that supports and facilitates academic and social– emotional learning. Classroom management as a process also consists of key tasks that trainers must attend to in order to development an environment conducive to learning. These tasks include: (1) Organizing the physical environment, (2) Establishing rules and routines, (3) Developing caring relationships, (4) Implementing engaging instruction and (5) Preventing and responding to discipline problems. Failure to address classroom management issues leads to frustration, ineffectiveness and failure. In contrast, effective classroom management results in the coupling of order and learning.
