Classroom management is cited as one of the most serious obstacles to effective teaching and a common reason for teacher burnout. Effective classroom management is directly linked to student achievement, teacher efficacy, and behavior. It requires teachers to create a well-planned, organized learning environment with clearly understood rules and high expectations for student behavior. In contrast, ineffective management leads to loss of control and can negatively impact student learning. Researching classroom management strategies and their impact can help teachers improve and maintain control of their classrooms.
