Classroom management involves creating a safe and productive learning environment for students. Effective classroom management strategies encourage students and use creative teaching methods to keep students engaged in educational activities. While the best approaches may differ depending on the teacher and students, focusing attention on all children, closely supervising student work, and over-planning lessons can help provide better classroom control at the elementary level. Primanti Elementary School in Whittier exemplifies these strategies through its Montessori curriculum for students ages 5 to 12, using a low student-teacher ratio to closely guide each child's learning.
