Managing a classroom is something that I worry about. My experience teaching is mostly with one on one piano lessons, so I've sometimes wondered how a teacher can maintain control of a class of ten or more young children. Really, though, most classrooms can be effectively managed through a combination of eye contact, seating arrangements and enough activities to keep the class involved. If those fail, the disciplinary code of the school where one works should be able to help out. It's also interesting to consider how different groupings of students can yield different results. Pair work is good, but it can lead to students constantly pairing with the same person and not feeling connected to the rest of the class. Group work can put people together who otherwise may not work together, but these grouped can be dominated by strong personalities, too. Like most activities in life, variety often leads to the best results.
