Key points
🔹 Australian teachers lose almost one-third of lesson time to student misbehaviour, equivalent to about 12 weeks of learning each year.
🔹 Frequent low-level disruption, rather than extreme misconduct, repeatedly interrupts teaching and reduces students’ learning time.
🔹 Explicit behaviour curricula can reduce disruption by teaching clear routines, expectations and consequences before poor behaviour becomes habitual.
