Online Classroom Management

A crisp description of classroom management includes the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students methodical, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during a class. When classroom-management strategies are executed commendably, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of students while maximizing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning.
