RESPECT at all times for everyone in the room. Respect for the property of the school. I am the sole arbiter in all cases needing one. One person is in charge here, and you are looking at him. NO ONE will interfere with my ability to teach OR any student's ability to learn. Pure and simple. Those are the rules.
Chow!!

Having been an elementary teacher for 35 years, I've seen "styles" come and go. Managing a classroom is very difficult because you are dealing with individuals with personalities, not robots.
You have to be the one in charge but not the dictator. Treat people as you want to be treated. For me, that means using a low voice that implies calmness at all times. Compassion and kindness are part of me so I use them in my classroom. Above all, RESPECT the students for who they are.
There are rules to be followed and I make sure all students know what they are and WHY we need to follow them. Consequences are given impartially. BTW--rules and consequences come from the initial class discussion on Day 1 of the new year. Students then buy into the process.
Never denigrate or embarrass students. All remarks are positive. Always be polite. The teacher is the MAIN role model. Don't be afraid to laugh but never AT someone. Always remember to be the teacher, not the pal. Work with the students extensively before calling in the parents and the administrators. Always address behavior, never personality.

I am not a Teacher but I think every classroom for Primary School students should have a chair near the Teacher's desk
where any child who misbehave should sit for at least half an hour.

Beauty,
It is clear you are filling out an application from all your posts - and this speaks to all of them.
All these ideas are good and sound, but the true answer MUST come from you - otherwise you will clearly look like a phony once you interview. Educators are perceptive people and if you can't back up your answers with your own ideas and thoughts you will never get hired. It may get you in the door, but you will look foolish in the interview if you can't speak to your answers knowledgeably and convincingly.

When I was teaching, I had one rule
No student may disturb or get in the way of any other student who wants to work.
A student is free to ignore the class if he or she wishes - but they may NOT get in the way in any form of any other student who wishes to work.
That pretty much covered anything, and made clear that disruptions in class were directed against their fellow students. Everyone respected that - and if they didn't, once they had to deal with me one on one privately - I never had any subsequent problems.

You have to have clear consequences for certain actions that you will be consistent about. Above all you have to be polite and respectful.

The students should be aware of all the rules, and as they behave, they get prices for it, like for example, free time for a fun activity.....
