Classroom Management Classroom management consists of the practices and procedures a teacher uses to maintain the environment in which instruction and learning can take place.

People expect procedures for everything they do in life: buying ticket at movies, waiting in line at a restaurant or store, getting a facial, etc.

Teaching students the procedures they need to follow in class gives them life skills and makes teaching less stressful for ALL!

When procedures are in place, the teacher can focus on teaching. Students know automatically what needs to be done. They know when and how to do it because you have taught them UNTIL they get it right.

Classroom management begins before the first day of school. -Wong & Wong
