Which strategies are most effective for maintaining order in the classroom?

We’ve covered a wealth of strategies to use to maintain order in the classroom. This includes how you set your room up, your daily routines, how you handle (or mishandle) behavior in the classroom, and how you present yourself to the students. I think all the texts we’ve read between Dr. Theresa and Dr. Grace have really covered this subject well. The classroom management book really covered this material in depth, and the MI chapter dealing with classroom management we recently read in Dr. Grace’s class. I also think the activity we did the other day in class where we wrote down one thing we thought we would all agree on and one thing we would all disagree on gave me some insight to other peoples thought process about classroom management. One major concern of mine about teaching in general is making sure I am effective at managing a classroom. Nobody learns in a classroom full of misbehaving students where there is no order.
