Teachers will seek to control behaviour in a classroom so that learning can take place and will do this through their leadership skills. When entering a classroom it is clear who is in charge - the teacher. This is achieved by verbal and non-verbal cues. for example they may stand at the front - they may direct students into the room. This affirms their leadership position from the start of the lesson, students are clear who is "in charge". Once the teacher has marked this territory they may roam the room guarding and controlling the students.

In a second way a teacher will demonstrate leadership through motivation of a class to participate in an activity. Students do not always want to work or do the activity and a teacher's skill is to convince the students that it is in their best interests to colour in the map or complete the worksheet. This is leadership in action.

Other ways may include grouping students for teamwork or pairs activities, controlling activities through peer assessment, observing students and marking.
