Managing the class effectively is the key to achieve positive educational upshots. Effective classroom management involves not only effective teaching but also effective supervision, facilitation and maintenance of academic discipline. Besides identification of problems related to learning, supervising students by guiding them in their academics to achieve the targeted goal is also a part of classroom management. A classroom is the place where teaching and learning activities take place without interruptions or distractions. The activities get hampered if the environment does not promote effective learning. This is where classroom management plays a major role along with teachers’ willingness to accept the responsibility for classroom control.

A good teacher should set long-term goals with solution-centric approach to various problems that may crop up in the process before the class. A pragmatic approach and spontaneity are essential on the part of the teacher in arriving at quick solutions to the problems that keep arising in interacting with the students. A systematic approach in the classroom may reduce classroom problems. We cannot deny that classroom discipline has a high degree of efficacy on teaching and learning. Teachers who cannot make proper planning of a unit that is to be taught are bound to face discipline problems and may also fail to motivate students. At the same time, such teachers also fail in clarifying the doubts of the students, if at all a student raises a doubt. Hence, it is essential that a teacher prepares himself or herself and is clear about each step of the content to be taught in the class in a clearly defined manner. The quality of instruction is a key factor that influences a student’s behavior and achievements. Teachers should be careful in safeguarding their dignity and ensure that the students follow their instructions.
