Abstract
Classroom management is a multifaceted component that can often be overwhelming to teachers as they are unsure of where and how to begin developing an effective management plan. Many teachers are in need of guidance and direction as they enter the teaching field and experienced teachers often find change of pace a positive aspect. Providing teachers with a guide focusing on how to create a student centered classroom in terms of classroom management is needed. The information presented in this Project comes from a variety of sources. The Review of Literature contains information from books, articles and online databases. The information in the Appendix has derived by synthesizing written information in books, articles and online databases. It also derives from the author’s teaching experiences and observations at school sites. The bibliography states a list of the sources used. This project resulted in the creation of an effective guide specifically designed for primary grade teachers seeking guidance on student centered classroom management. Many ideas presented in this guide can also be adapted for secondary grade levels.
