  • Abstract

    Classroom management is a very important term in academia because everything related to ‎education encompasses it. The teacher’s efficiency and proper content presentation makes ‎classroom management a success. Thus, the study aims to find out the correlations between a ‎teacher’s efficiency and content delivery in the secondary classrooms of Bangladesh. For collecting, this study reviews ‎the literature pertaining to ‎teacher’s efficiency and content delivery and collects some information thereon. The literature reviews ‎showed that the content of the subject matter is important but the more important is how a teacher ‎deals with it before the learners. It also showed that teaching is an art, and a teacher here should be a great artist to deal with the contents to be taught. A ‎teacher should motivate students when necessary and must be familiar with the students’ cultural ‎background, learning stages, and challenges of the learners while delivering the content materials. So, a teacher should have proper style and structure ‎of content delivery so that the students can enjoy it, grasp it and may have effective learning outcomes‎. If a teacher cannot show proper efficiency, the goals of the teaching may not be reached.
