Much research has looked at the effect of classroom management on the quality of teaching and learning activity, and set up principles of effective classroom management. However, how to put these principles into practice in a typical classroom is still a question to be answered in the minds of new teachers in profession and most of those already in the field of education. This paper which reinforces the findings and suggestions from many previous works, not only presents findings from these studies, but also includes some recommendations about how to put them into practice. Using a simple table, it organizes the mostly-known principles into usable, concise formats. Four topics are considered: (1) the need for forming rules and establishing routines in a classroom; (2) the relationship between routines and classroom management; (3) the basic principles of establishing routines in relation to classroom participation and discipline; (4) the practical ways of putting wellknown rules into practice.
