Classroom Management

Classroom management can be defined as set of standards or behaviors instructors use to create the structure of their teaching environment and learning community. It covers a wide variety of topics including organization, instruction, conflict resolution, the use of technology, and other activities that foster an atmosphere conducive to teaching and learning. Because learning is a continuous and dynamic process—occurring both inside and outside of the classroom—you should be flexible and respond to student feedback by adapting classroom management strategies when necessary.
