Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between managers' communication skills and the effectiveness of classroom management.Methodology: The method of the present study was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population included 28 principals and 976 teachers of secondary schools in Amol city. Stratified random sampling method was used to select the statistical sample. Based on this, 24 managers and 278 secretaries were selected as the statistical sample of the study. Data collection tools were Barton Communication Skills Questionnaire (1990) and Imarohikman Classroom Management Effectiveness Questionnaire (1991). The communication skills questionnaire had 18 items with three components "verbal skills, listening skills and feedback skills". The Classroom Management Effectiveness Questionnaire also consisted of 35 questions that measured the three components of "establishing discipline in the classroom, the effectiveness of parental education, and the effectiveness of the teacher's personal training." The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using face and content validity methods. The reliability of the questionnaires was also reported using the appropriate Cronbach's alpha method. In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient test and path analysis test were used.Findings: The results showed that there is not a significant relationship between the communication skills of managers and their components with the component of classroom discipline, but the total score of total communication skills of managers and its components with the other overall score of the classroom management and the components of the effectiveness of parent education And there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the effectiveness of teacher training. The results of path analysis indicate that the effect of verbal skills on classroom discipline is irrelevant and has a significant effect on the effectiveness of parental education and the effectiveness of teacher education. Hearing skills can also explain the effectiveness of parental training and the effectiveness of teacher training in a meaningful way and the classroom discipline is unreasonably explained. Finally, feedback skills can effectively explain the effectiveness of parental education and the effectiveness of teacher training in a meaningful way and the classroom discipline is unreasonably explained.Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that strengthening the communication skills of principals can be effective in enriching verbal and non-verbal communication with students' parents and also helping teachers in the quality of classroom management.
