Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to research, analyze, and curate methods of effective classroom management at the secondary level and create a handbook for teachers. Often classroom management strategies are left behind in secondary classrooms due to the fast-paced nature of the content. The benefits of classroom management can be too easily ignored in the world of academia. Effective management techniques do not only benefit teachers, but they also teach students a sense of discipline. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this thesis delves into the multifaceted realm of effective classroom management at the secondary level. The approach involves meticulous analysis of studies from educators, psychologists, and behaviorists, aiming to create successful classroom management strategies. By examining diverse perspectives, this thesis navigates the intricacies of secondary classroom dynamics, considering both the academic demands and the need for disciplined environments. The qualitative research methodology employed allows for a nuanced exploration of existing materials and the identification of gaps in resources tailored for secondary educators. The handbook guide will provide different classroom management strategies, the philosophies upon which these strategies are based, accompanying plans for implementation in the classroom, syllabi, and supporting materials to use in classrooms.
