3. INTRODUCTION
The teacher can use time management in the classroom to optimize learning opportunity
for students. When we think of the concept ‘time’ with regard to learning we often think of pace,
in other words, moving quickly through the planned learning activities. When considering
effective time management in the classroom as a means of making learning most effective for
students, progression needs to be planned for as well as pace. Progression means that students
are able to move through specific activities making cognitive progress as they go. Cognitive
progress could mean that students know more, understand concepts better, can use what they
know in different context, or move from lower order thinking to higher order thinking.
Basic Principles of Classroom Time Management
1. Define your objectives for each class and try to remain focused on
2. Become comfortable early on with compromise. You will rarely accomplish everything
you idea would like to accomplish.
3. Recognize when you should step aside and let the responsive to the classroom dynamic.
4. Be flexible. Be able to reshape our lesson plan on the fly, to respond to the demands of
different groups.

In our present education system allocated time is 45 minutes for one period. First 5
minutes is warm up the students. I usually starts the class with friendly talk. If the students are
engaged, that means teacher who has succeeded in class room disciple, classroom management
& effective teaching. It does means that the students those who are quite were engaged in the
class that means their eye will be open it seems that they were looking as or listening here but
their mind may be wondering in some other world. What I understand my teaching practice still
now is that an active classroom is buzzing with action asking questions, clarifying their doubts
etc. When I give solo work the things noticed is that the students those who are very cleaver and
brilliant are in solo activity its because they can shine well in such area.
But other don’t like individual activity they always prefer to choose group activation. To
keep students involved and on their to, I used to move from teacher-centered learning to student
centered active learning. I used to introduce and summaries the material in a way that gets
response from their students but it doesn’t work all time some time may fail. I will not stands in
one place when I provide activity, I used to wander around the room and in between the students
desks. Teacher engagement too I call students by name that have always paid close attention to
those levels of students who are weak in studies. The thing I noticed is that it’s difficult to keep
students focused when we get deeper in to the topic. The concentration level of most of the
students (75%) can be hold maximum up to 20 minutes. Their after only 25% students pay
4. attention in the classroom. If we want to increase student engagement the we needs to increase
students activity of their involvement in the classroom is some other way.
CONCLUSION
The effective teacher uses both time and strategy productively. When the pacing in a
classroom gets out of balance, students quickly lose interest. Successful teacher are fully aware
of how they allocate time. They also understand that every class session has a rhythm. It can be
ponderous, lively disjointed, hyperactive etc. Even the most enjoyable activity can become dull
when it is dragged on too long or overused. Hence, careful teacher planning involves thoughtful
time management and sensitivity to the flow of teacher activities.
