temperaments along a meaningful learning journey.

TIPS FOR BETTER CLASSROOM
MANAGEMENT
 Always love the students
The teacher should always love their students and stand
against their behavior, which doesn’t meet their
expectations. The students can remind of their true worth if
their teachers love them unconditionally.
 Praise their efforts

The teacher should always praise the work of their students

if they meet their expectations. It helps in creating
positivity in the class.
TIPS FOR BETTER CLASSROOM
MANAGEMENT…….
 Identify yourself
The teachers should tell their students regarding who they
are and why they are here. A class where all the students
have a great confidence in their teacher often has the power
to create a wonderful environment for learning.
 Having a plan

The lesson plans of the teacher should be concise and clear

and they required starting each day with a clear vision.  In
addition to that, the teacher should have a keen sense of the
behavior they expect at every point in the class.
