The results showed that a successful classroom management is facilitated by the teacher’s professional readiness and his/her developed communication skills, who planning and organizing the educational process, according to students’ diverse educational needs and interests, providing them a high-quality educational work in a well-structured engaging and reflective learning environment and cultivating meaningful relationships of reciprocity, contributes, decisively, to their academic learning and socio-emotional development.
