2. Summary
Classroom management is an essential part of learning. It
is just as important as learning the academic lessons and
concepts taught in school. Therefore, by successfully
managing the classroom environment, you can increase
student success and create a productive and cooperative
learning environment. Moore (2014) purported that
effective classroom managers create safe environments by
creating limits. That is why classroom management plans
are important. They allow students to get the most out of
their time spent in school and ensure that the teacher
maintains his/her sanity.

3. Teacher’s Preparation
In order for us to manage our classrooms effectively we
need to make all the necessary preparations.
According to Moore (2014) as an effective teacher, you
need to plan properly in order to utilize the learning
time and this will help you to maximise the time
effectively.

11. Self discipline approach
Students form groups to establish three rules for
managing the tidiness or ambiance of the classroom
and the consequences for breaking them.

12. Classroom Motivation
Motivation is an important way to help
students to excel in life. Therefore,
motivation will serve as a tool to help
students focus on their goals better. Moore
(2014) stated that students motivation and
positive management strategies are essential
for effective teaching and learning.

13. Non verbal communication
This is an important aspect of classroom motivation.
Moore (2014) stated that as a teacher we should be
accurate in the transmission of messages to students
even in a non verbal manner. Therefore, our gestures are
very important in the effectiveness of this
communication process.

19. Conclusion
As teachers, we are judged by the way we present
ourselves to the students and parents. Also, the effective
management of our classroom is hinged on the students
perception of us. Therefore, for students to learn in the
classroom, they need to be motivated and engaged in a
healthy environment. According to Gabriel (2012)
effective management is a prerequisite to achieving
instructional objectives and to safeguarding the
psychological and physical well-being of students.
