Effective and productive classroom environment management enhances appropriate and productive classroom participation. Several approaches have been made with the view aimed at managing student behaviour problems in Ghanaian schools. This effort has achieved very little towards behaviour management as there are frequent reporting of misbehaviour in many Ghanaian schools. This study aimed at considering the effective means of teachers communicating effectively with the students to ensure effective teaching and learning in a productive classroom. It also meant to consider what teachers should do in the classroom to ensuring Discipline inside Classroom. The study was also informed by the efficient ways of handling behaviour problems. The researcher used quantitative research design for the study. The population of the study was composed of 200 teachers in Komenda-Edina-Aguafo-Arem (KEEA) Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. The researcher used quota and simple random sampling technique to select the sample size of 200. Data was collected using questionnaires. Reliability was established through split half method, and a reliability coefficient of 0.871 was realized. In order to ensure face validity of the instruments, the researcher sought expert judgment from university lecturers. Descriptive statistical analyses were used to analyse quantitative data gathered from the study. The finding revealed that, teachers’ interactions and communications in the classrooms were very appropriate to enhance effective and efficient classroom management for productive classroom participation. Also, teachers were able to handle some behaviour problems in classrooms. The study however, revealed that there were few lapses with how teachers in KEEA Municipality communicate to parents about their wards misbehaviours and good behaviours. The researcher therefore suggested improvement in pre-service, inservice continuous professional trainings. The teachers were also suggested to have studies in guidance and counselling and behaviour modification strategies to be equipped with skills to handle misbehaviours in the classrooms.
