INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULE
A word of welcome
We welcome you to the module Classroom Management (CMG3701). We hope
that you will find this module meaningful, enriching and relevant to your own
classroom practice. The purpose of this study guide is to direct your exploration
of your role as a classroom manager by highlighting important aspects in the
prescribed book and by providing activities which should enhance your knowledge and skills.
Study this guide and the relevant sections in your prescribed book thoroughly to familiarise
yourself with the terminology. Do extra reading to ensure that you develop informed opinions
on selected topics creatively, critically and independently.
In this module we inspire you to participate in a practical way.
Purpose
The purpose of this module is to explore the roles of the teacher as leader, manager and
administrator. It explores issues that will be critical to successful classroom management and
leadership within the context of legal governing principles.
A key competence is effective management of the classroom in different educational contexts.
All teachers need good classroom management skills to be able to cope with the increasing
demands on education, schools and instructional practice. They also need to be aware of
various elements that need to be considered in classroom management.
This module will guide your intellectual, scientific and professional development by training
you in select aspects such as the following:
• Management in the context of the classroom.
• Functions of classroom management (planning, organising, leading, controlling, policy
development and implementation, decision-making, communicating and motivating).
• Elements that need to be considered in classroom management (arranging the
environment, creating a positive climate, organising and conducting teaching, organising
learner activities, maintaining positive discipline, managing conflict, managing
homework, managing administration, managing parental involvement, managing
relationships, acting professionally, self-management and being knowledgeable about
legal provisions regulating the management of learners).
• Analysis of published research reports, legal documents and articles.
• Assuming roles and taking stances that are justified by pertinent reference to theory,
policy, legal provisions, observed practice and personal experience.
• Different strategies for engagement in policy and practice in diverse contexts.
• Democratic management of learning environments, ensuring safe as well as conducive
teaching and learning environments that foster creative and critical thinking.
• Disciplining learners in ways that are firm, fair and promote growth.

• Creating learning environments that are sensitive to different cultures, languages,
gender and other features of diversity.
• Resolving conflict situations within classrooms in an ethical and sensitive way.
• Managing yourself, your time, your physical space and your resources and assisting
learners to do the same.
• Acting as leaders in the teaching and learning environment.
• Continuous professional development.
• Development of an appraisal system for professional development.
• Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS).
Your professional development as a classroom leader and manager cannot be achieved
based on theoretical content alone –knowledge must be supplemented with practical
implementation, in other words, you must integrate theory and practical experience. This
means that when you complete the activities presented in this study guide you should always
relate it to your own experience as a teacher, or think back to classroom situations when you
were at school: you still have to do teaching practice as part of your studies. This module will
teach you various skills and perform activities that will be expected of you during your teaching
internship.
After completing this module, you should be able to do the following:
• Discuss, compare and implement key ideas and debates on issues related to effective
classroom management.
• Adopt in a flexible manner a variety of classroom management roles and strategies in
response to changing teaching and learning needs and contexts.
• Identify, justify and apply varied strategies for effective classroom management in ways
that are appropriate for different purposes and contexts.
• Identify and discuss the legal provisions regulating the management of learners.
