Classroom Management This blog serves as a discussion forum for a course practice exercise for EDM 510 at the University of South Alabama. Although teachers come in many forms, there will always be a common concern. That concern is classroom management. In undergraduate school, classroom management was not instructed, and I believe there is a reason for that. Classroom management is an art that is perfected by trial and error. I would like to share and discuss various tricks of the trade in relation to the subject of managing the classroom. When you are the sole adult in the room facing 35 students of various needs, wants, backgrounds, attitudes, and challenges- what can you do to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment? If you have not taught in a classroom full time, what are some things you would like to know more about?
