Teachers as Managers

While colleges struggle to find ways to teach classroom management, I think they might be better teaching management principals.

In the Study Up blog, the author wrote, "A good teacher should also be a good manager. Management is all about managing resources and problems in the most efficient manner to get the desired result and indirectly improve profitability."

This is a critical skill for high school teachers.  They usually have a short period of time to minimize power struggles and have to work efficiently to address the varied academic needs of adolescents.

If you find you are having issues controlling your classes.  Think about the process differently.  Start thinking of yourself as a manager!
