management in Strathmore High school, Nairobi.
Data was collected flora 15 teachers in Strathmore High School by use of
quest' s.
The findings from the study revealed that teachers' needs and belief systems
play a dominant role in shaping their approaches to classroom management Some
teachers can operate effectively without having their classes tightly structured,
while others must have complete control st all times. Although teachers need to
give direction to classroom management procedures, students' needs and
characteristics mast also be taken into consideration_ Classroom management
systems should not exacerbate student problems, and generally they should
facilitate positive student and teacher relationship. Teachers who attend to the
academic and social needs of their students are in a better position to prevent and
respond to misbehavior.

promoting effective class management to other .ctiools. In-service courses should
be organised. Teacher Training Institutions should be emphatic on sensitizing
teachers to be in methods of effective classroom management The research further
recommended the positive relationship between tra4chers and the students.
