Classroom management is a way of handling students, resources and the classroom setting in order to yield a pleasant and organized class set up.

In achieving this process, a good teacher must consider the following principles:

           

            Create a fine first impression.

           

            It is necessary to establish a good impression to your learners by exhibiting a pleasant and inviting image.

Be in school with enthusiasm and show excitement to be with them.

By means of a teacher’s genuine interest in teaching and in dealing with the learners, in return the learners will be able to establish interest in their studies.

Curtail the power differential in everyday communication.

           

            Don’t think of dominating attitude as a leader instead be close with students to the point that you are giving your helping hand.

Address problem behavior directly and immediately.

           

            Give attention to those problems that arise in the class at once.  Rectifying undesirable behaviors and action is better in order not to create repercussions.

Know the power of proximity.

           

            Do not create a distance between you and your students instead use your power to reach them and attend to their concerns.

 

Think Prevention.

                                     

           If a problem existed, think of an immediate prevention not to cause a fire.  It is better to avoid a conflict.
