​​Effective classroom management

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) provides the framework for a whole-school, evidence-based approach to behaviour support. PBL takes an instructional approach to behaviour, recognising that schools need to teach the behaviours needed for success at school and beyond. School-wide PBL provides the foundations for the implementation of effective classroom management, which can be described as the consistent implementation of proactive, research-informed practices for classroom management.
