Today I want to share with you a very special article. Very special because I intend to let you know what are some of the keys or golden rules that make me a teacher, an excellent classroom manager .

Do you want to discover what qualities I value the most in my profession when managing a classroom with students?

Well, I invite you to join me in reading this article that I hope will help you reflect on your work in the classroom.

These is 10 principles for a correct classroom management:


1. Supported self-management of a conflict . Whenever possible, you should start from the idea that you must solve your conflicts yourself, but knowing you and your students and colleagues that you will always have a support network. The maximum you should follow is this:

What can I contribute to solve this conflict?

2. Principle of economics . Joan Vaello defends the idea that the complicated does not work. Hence, defend the principle of economy focusing on:


  • Economy of people . The fewer people involved in a task, the greater and better management capacity.

  • Economy of bureaucracy . Learn to distinguish between essential and non-essential roles. Once distinguished, root out the dispensable.

  • Economy of time . Look for the correct planning of the interventions based on simplicity and renouncing constant perfection.


3. Principle of effectiveness . It is essential to focus on those actions that you know work and give some kind of result. It is, therefore, to discard rituals, protocols of action, customs, inertias that suppose a bad investment of your time and the time of the people involved.

4. Calculated implication . As a teacher, you must start from the principle that everything possible must be done to attend to what is really important. But, once done everything possible, it's about taking emotional distance so that it does not affect you more than it should. This allows us to always work from the base of an emotional balance and avoid toxic emotions.

5. The value of the occasion . We must start from the idea that the problems that you live in your day to day do not have to be seen as problems, but as occasions, as opportunities to learn and teach those emotional competencies that define you and those around you. And from this idea is where the so-called positive conflict comes from .

6. Unification of criteria . You have to learn to work in a team, to work from alliances that make it possible to establish common criteria. Because working alone becomes most of the time in a choice that only weakens you. Joan Vaello proposes the following maxim:

7. Quiet assertive . In the face of any adversity, you have to take a firm but relaxed stance, that is, it is about being assertive, maintaining respectful principles with everyone and knowing at all times what to do and knowing that you will do it from an assertive position.

8. Personal influence . The power is given. Authority is earned. And to achieve that authority, we must work on the following aspects:

  • The empathy
  • The balance between rewards and punishments
  • The charisma
  • The credibility
  • The prestige
  • The legitimacy
  • The alliances


9. Proactivity . When you are facing a problem you have two options: face it from the past or face it from the future . The proactive teacher is one who is clear that the problems are solved by looking forward, that is, facing the problems with the following maxim:

What should I do so that what has happened does not happen again in the future?

This is the maximum capable of generating options, capable of generating solutions.

10. Responsibility . The principle of responsibility is based on what Joan Vaello calls the principle of consequences or principle of the three ways . In short, it is about facing problems from three perspectives:

Impunity . The student continues to do the same and nothing ever happens to him.

Inhibitory responsibility . If the student does not change, he must assume a consequence in order to modify his behavior.

Creative responsibility . Getting the student to change and from that change positive consequences for the student (recommended).
