Teachers use strategies for classroom management but still encounter barriers when defining conditions which may enhance the teaching and learning process. Objective: the present research intended to answer the following research questions: «How are teachers distributed according to the indicators of “classroom management skills” (CMS), in terms of low and high skills?» and «How are teachers differentiated within the parameters of “classroom management skills” (CMS) according to the posts they hold at school?». Method: a quantitative study was conducted with 181 teachers in the district of Lisbon, who answered to the Classroom Management Scale by Emmer & Hickman (1991), and the School Disruption Scale Inferred by Teachers by Veiga (2006). Results and conclusions: the results indicate that most teachers perceive their classroom management skills as high, particularly in the dimensions of behavior management and teaching management. These results also suggest that teachers holding administrative posts at school present more management skills, but only in the behavioral dimension.engClassroom managementPrimary school teachersIndisciplineSchool administrative postsbook part
