Classroom management is a necessary condition for effective teaching. There are several key principles for good classroom management including: 1) being proactive and consistent with discipline to prevent problems, 2) establishing routines for daily tasks, 3) ensuring smooth transitions throughout the day, 4) balancing variety and challenge in student activities, 5) being aware of all classroom activities, 6) resolving minor issues before they escalate, and 7) reinforcing positive behavior. Effective classroom management allows teachers to make the most of instructional time and keep students engaged through a variety of challenging activities within clear routines and expectations.

4. Principles in Classroom Management 1. Consistent, proactive discipline is the crux of effective classroom management “Prevention is better than cure”, so goes the adage. If we are proactive in our approach to discipline we prevent unnecessary disciplinary problems from cropping up. We have not to wait for disciplinary problems to erupt for us to take a move. To be consistent in our classroom management, we apply at all times established rules and policies to all pupils/students regardless of creed, color, economic status, academic standing in the class.

5. Principles in Classroom Management 2. Established routines for all daily tasks and needs. Routinized collection of assignments, passing of papers, and preparation for experiments saves a lot of time and effort. We have not to explain or instruct our pupils/students on how to pass papers, collect assignment, prepare experiments day in day out because we have established the routines for these everyday tasks.

6. Principles in Classroom Management 3. Orchestrate smooth transitions and continuity of momentum throughout the day. Smooth transitions and continuity of momentum throughout the day ensure us that every instructional moment is made use of wisely.

7. Principles in Classroom Management 4. Strike a balance between variety and challenge in students activities. A variety of student activities will ensure that students multiple intelligences and varied learning styles are considered in the conduct of student activities. An extremely easy learning task does not challenge our pupils and students. Neither does an extremely difficult one. It is the golden mean between the extremes of easy and difficult that will keep our pupils reasonably occupied.

8. Principles in Classroom Management 5. As classroom manager, be aware of all actions and activities in the classroom. Our heightened awareness of everything that is happening in our classroom puts our students on their toes all the time. While or back faces them when we write on the board, our “eyes on the back of our heads” will make our pupils feel that we know what they are doing.
