Creating a reliable lesson plan is an important part of classroom management. Doing so requires the ability to incorporate effective strategies into the classroom, the students and overall environment. There are many different types of lesson plans and ways of creating them. Teachers can encourage critical thinking in a group setting by creating plans that include the students participating collectively. Visual strategies are another component tied into lesson plans that help with classroom management. These visual strategies help a wide variety of students to increase their learning structure and possibly their overall comprehension of the material or what is in the lesson plan itself. These strategies also give students with disabilities the option to learn in a possible more efficient way. Teachers need to realize the wide range of strategies that can be used to maintain classroom management and students. They should find the best strategies to incorporate in their lesson planning for their specific grade, student type, teaching style, etc. and utilize them to their advantage. The classroom tends to flow better when the teacher has a proper lesson planned, as it provides structure for the students. Being able to utilize class time efficiently comes with creating lesson plans at their core. Keeping the students engaged, attentive, and intrigued is a must in order to have a successful classroom. Considering each teacher has a unique teaching style, it is important to focus on the students for each academic school year and make yourself flexible to their needs. Lesson planning is a critical influence on classroom management.

Posters and poster boards are an important addition to any classroom. Not only are they visually appealing, they are also an effective way to provide important information in a fun and creative way. Giving students the opportunity to create poster boards provides an escape from the everyday “norm” of the classroom. They get to create what they imagine and be unique with their ideas. Providing a space for students to be original and experimental is an important way to build healthy classroom management skills. Poster boards are a simple way to introduce new topics to audiences that may not be familiar with the subject discussed. The poster board is an interactive approach to new information, especially with younger students who are attracted more so to visually appealing work. They aim to provide a personal design that provides a clear understanding to the readers using evidence, findings, ideas, purpose, etc. about the topic on the poster board itself. They can be essential when it comes to introducing a new topic or idea, especially with younger children who tend to move from subject to subject quick. It is important that you don’t spend too long educating using one method, as the students tend to become distracted easily. Poster boards are an easy, effective, and time friendly method to use in class. These displays help with classroom management by keeping the focus of the students long enough to explain and teach them the lesson, topic, subject, idea, etc. Having a classroom that is excited to participate in creating objects such as posters and poster boards will help create a more efficient learning environment.
