Classroom management is discussed in terms of effective instruction, successful group management, maximum use of space, time, and resources, meaningful discipline, student rights, and change strategies. The discussion of effective instruction stresses appropriateness, completeness, clarity, and a variety of lessons. Techniques for successful group management include the teacher's ability to attend to several issues at once and to achieve smoothness in ongoing academic activities, group focus, student accountability, and a variety of activities. Suggestions for maximum use of space, time, and resources refer not only to the teacher who has his/her own classroom but also to the floating teacher. Measures for assuring effective handling of routine matters include learning students' names immediately, providing activities during roll call, returning papers efficiently, making available enrichment materials, and developing standard operating procedures. Classroom discipline is discussed in terms of preventing and dealing with problems through reality therapy, behavior modification, and changing expectations. Legal rights of students are presented relative to Supreme Court cases. Finally, the author outlines steps for initiating change through force field analysis which includes a written statement of the goal, a brainstorming session, selection of appropriate ideas, and development of a plan of action.
