CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers
use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically
productive during a class.
REFORM
In recent years, classroom management has received an increasing amount of attention
from education leaders, reformers, and researchers, who have begun to investigate,
analyze, and document the effective strategies used by successful teachers. The growing
emphasis on classroom management is based on the general recognition that effective
instruction requires effective classroom management, and that strong management skills
are the foundation of strong teaching.
DEBATE
While there is widespread agreement in education that effective classroom management
is essential to good teaching, there is often debate about which strategies are most
effective, or what is the best way to approach the management of a classroom or
other learning environment.
Some educators might argue that effective classroom management begins with
student compliance and classroom orderliness, since learning cannot happen when
students are not listening, when they are disobeying the teacher, or when they are
disrupting other students in the class. In this case, the teacher needs to establish
the behavioral and academic expectations for a class and ensure that students
comply with those expectations. Other educators, however, would argue that
teachers should approach classroom management by actively involving students
in the process.
