“Proactive Classroom Management: Empowering B.Ed. Trainees through Psychological Well-Being and Teaching Competency”

Abstract: Effective classroom management is a critical skill for educators aiming to foster positive learning environments. This paper explores the concept of Proactive Classroom Management as an essential strategy for empowering B.Ed. trainees. By connecting psychological well-being, multiple intelligence, self-efficacy, and psychosocial skills to teaching competency, the study emphasizes the holistic development of future educators. A proactive approach focuses not merely on responding to disruptions, but on creating environments where respect, engagement, and emotional intelligence naturally flourish. Strengthening B.Ed. trainees with these competencies will prepare them to manage classrooms with confidence, compassion, and creativity — contributing to the larger vision of nurturing competent educators for a sustainable and progressive Bharat.
