Introduction

A recent survey done by the graduates of education colleges and schools signifies that the top most important area for the teachers is their apprehension of inadequate management of classrooms and the related behaviors.

Since, there is not any single solution for these problems or classroom management and setting, therefore following guidelines, which are drawn fromvarious sources, might be able to assist in solving these problems (www.jsums.edu). Those classroom teachers who had several years of classroom management experience and knowledge have made their contributions to an agreement regarding what shall work and what shall not work when it comes to the classrooms and related behaviors and performance of the students.
