Abstract: Effective classroom management determines how much time is available for teaching and how engaged students are in learning. However, managing classrooms is complex and requires training in specialized skills and knowledge. With strong preparation, teachers enter the classroom prepared to foster engaging and supportive classroom environments and are far more likely to create a community where all students can learn and thrive. Preparing new teachers to manage classrooms effectively requires clarity about the knowledge and skills they need to create environments where students can focus and learn. This paper presents a framework that establishes three focus areas of classroom management--grounded in research and aligned to the field--that are most important for supporting instruction, student engagement, and improved student behavior and learning. They include: (1) teaching candidates to understand their own behaviors, emotions, and cultures, as well as those of their students; (2) preparing candidates to establish clear expectations and structure the learning environment; and (3) equipping candidates to respond to classroom behaviors. The framework also identifies the actions teacher preparation programs can take to equip teacher candidates to implement these practices.
