Abstract
Conclusion
Classroom management is an important skill for effective teachers; it is linked to a decrease in teacher burnout and an increase in teacher self-efficacy and improved academic outcomes for students. Teachers, regardless of grade taught or geographic area, report the need for better training in classroom management skills. There are a huge number of potential specific skills and activities which may represent effective classroom management, although these may be clustered into several useful groups. There is also a huge array of literature describing classroom management skills, and many of these have demonstrated effectiveness in research studies.
