Abstract: – This study was designed to investigate teachers’ classroom management techniques for effective teaching and learning in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. To achieve the purpose of the study, four research questions were formulated. From a population of 325 teachers, 240 teachers were randomly selected from the secondary school in study areas. Teachers’ classroom management techniques were examined using a structured questionnaire made by the researchers and validated by two lecturers in the department of Educational Management and Policy and an expert in Measurement and Evaluation. The test-retest method was used to establish the reliability coefficient (r). This was established as 0.85. Data was analyzed using mean. Results showed among others that secondary school teachers in Njikoka use rules and active student engagement to manage their classrooms, and that cordial relationships exists between teachers and their students. It was recommended that students should be made to understand and memorize the rules and regulations. Teachers should keep engaging the students actively in the class and maintain cordial relationships with the students.
