Importance of Classroom Management
classroom management is the most important factor governing student learning. Three authors reviewed 50 years of research on student learning, encompassing 11,000 statistical findings. They discovered 28 factors that help students learn;
and classroom management was the number one.
Characteristics of A Well-Managed Classroom

Students know what is expected of them and are generally successful.
There is relatively little wasted time, confusion, or disruption.
The climate of the classroom is work-oriented but relaxed and pleasant.
Cont…Students are seated so that their attention is directed
toward the teacher. Students are able to clearly see chalkboards, screens,
presentations and displays. Students are motivated.Teacher and students are aiming for the same
direction.High traffic areas should be free of congestion. Students are seated so that teachers can see any
students ant times. It is important that all students are within the view of the teacher at all times.

Structuring Classroom Space For Disruptive StudentsDisruptive students should be placed in the front of the
classroom near the teacher, but not separated from rest of class.
Two disruptive students should not be allowed to sit next to each other.
Disruptive students need more frequent reinforcement than other students. Having them close to the teacher makes this possible.
If there are a group of difficult students, have the most difficult one sit close to the teacher and spread the others out. Place appropriate students next to disruptive students.
Students should have only relevant materials on their desk.Do not place easily distracted students near the window or
other location where distraction is likely.
