Classroom management is defined as a process that needs a teacher to manage a classroom in order for an effective teaching and learning activities to take place. Classroom management refers to all of the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time, and materials so that learning can take place. This management includes fostering student involvement and cooperation in all classroom activities and establishing a productive working environment. Classroom management is one of the most important skills that teachers develop in their career. Management of classes always demands such strategies, methods and measures which should facilitate productive work in teaching learning process. When deciding on classroom management strategies, it is essential to look at what types of learners are in the classroom, as well as what outcomes are desired from the techniques. Just as the goal of managing a business is profit maximization, the goal of managing a classroom is learning maximization. A classroom may appear to be operating effectively and in an organized manner, but if all the students are not engaged in learning, this classroom is not well managed. In contrast, a classroom might appear to be chaotic, with noise and activity that make it difficult for the outside observer to tell what is going on. However, if all the students are actively engaged in learning and can name what they are doing to learn, the classroom is probably well managed. Classroom management involves decisions about what to teach and how to teach it. This is not simple. Every classroom has diverse learners. In order to reach every learner at their level, the teacher has to differentiate instruction. Classroom management also involves rules, procedures, routines, timetables, and managing the physical and social environments. It also involves setting a protocol for acceptable behavior and communicating effectively so that students are clear about what is expected of them.
