The management task of the teachers from the key schools and non-key schools is different in the emphasis of management 2. Teachers of different subjects manage their classrooms according to the characteristics of each subject. 3. Women teachers make better preparations of their lessons. They pay more attention to their classroom management, including the art of management while men teachers show simple way of management. 4. Teachers with AA degree pay more attention to the preparations of their lessons and classroom management than those with bachelor degrees. 5. Teachers of advanced level pay more attention to the art of management than the teachers of intermediate and elementary level, but their management view seems to be more traditional. 6.
