This unit emphasizes how essential proper classroom management is to the learning process. Moreover, it points to how classroom management is not characterized by how dictatorial or controlling a teacher is , but rather how the teacher is able to manage himself/herself first and then how well he is able to manage his/her students. This means the teacher needs to be able to create an engaging, welcoming and comfortable environment by initializing good rapport between teacher and students and between the students themselves. In addition, the way a teacher runs the classroom must be taylored in accordance with a number of factors that will dictate how smooth the class will run. For example, the teacher must consider eyes contact, gestures, tone of voice, students’ names, class grouping, proper use of classroom space, teacher consistency with classroom rules as well and his/her own professional behavior, etc. There are more factors that can be considered, however, one factor that is one of the most essential to classroom management is TTT and STT. When considering how to manage your classroom, a teacher must always keep in mind that the goal is for every lesson to be student centered rather than teacher centered. The best classroom management technique is to keep student involvement high by giving them the opportunity to participate in the lesson as much as possible thus increasing their talk time and maintaining their focus throughout.
