Importance of Classroom Management

I believe that the most important indicator of whether you are an effective teacher or not is dependent on your classroom management skills. It is very important that a teacher puts their best foot forward starting on day one. A teacher must set the tone for the whole school year from the minute the students walk in the door on that first day. The students must feel that they have a voice in the classroom instead of being dictated to so that they feel that they are important and valued. School experiences especially at a very young age must be positive, if a student has a bad experiences than they will not participate or cooperate. If that happens that will make your job as the teacher that much more of a challenge.
