Instructional management in TVET institutions involves process and procedures to make decisions on effective instruction and on delivery of classroom sessions.

Classroom management covers all of the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time and materials so that instruction in content and student learning can take place.
Instructional management helps the teachers to observe the development process of their students and make decisions on improvements of instruction. Students learning is depends upon how a teacher manages the classroom delivery. Therefore, a teacher responsibility is to keep students involved in their work, maximize time on task, prevent confusion or disruption, conduct fair evaluation, and ultimately maximize the academic achievements of students.
