The management of a classroom includes control of its physical condition as well as of the materials of instruction.

Some factors, though, that fall under physical conditions are not within the teacher’s control; e.g., the size of the room and location of the building.

Teachers also differ in the taste of arranging everything. For example, how to make their rooms turn from ugly to beautiful.

It’s so amazing!

Just read the following scenarios.

Teacher A, was assigned by his head  to take care the room . He became an adviser of this room for five years but what it made surprised to his head, no changes happen at all. Likewise, the head knew it that this

teacher had  never  had any projects for his

homeroom for five years. What a very sad

story of the room!

Teacher B, a beautiful and award winning homeroom as ‘Best Classroom’ was transferred to him because the real initiator to beautify this room was not given an advisory class because he needs to leave. After the end of the school year, the happy aura of the classroom was disappeared. What happen to the Best Homeroom?, its shine was lost.

Teacher C, this ingenious teacher can make even the dullest room, in the building attractive, cozy and comfortable, subject of course, to facilities available to him and within his capabilities.  He involved his pupils in placing to make their room attractive.

Among these three situations, who has a miracle gift of touched on improving and beautifying the room.

Yes! Let’s thumb up! the third teacher. A miracle touch is found at her, and what makes different her from other teachers, he involved his students.  When students are involved in planning, executing, and evaluation of the project in the room, they also help in maintaining the cleanliness and attractiveness of the room.  They can be grouped and assigned to take turns in keeping the room neat and orderly.

One author said that a pleasant atmosphere generates good thoughts and ideas, while unpleasant surrounding s evoke dirty and ugly thoughts.  Students tend to work better and longer if conditions are favourable.  Learning also becomes more effective.    Teacher should therefore strive as much  as possible for pleasant conditions in his classroom.

If you can make your house beautiful, why not apply it in your classroom too!
