Good behaviour is fundamental to all educational objectives, but too often teachers lack a structured approach to optimising behaviour. This Tom Bennett behaviour poster is a short summary of his Creating a Culture: How School Leaders Can Optimise Behaviour report.

The poster summarises some of the best behaviour management strategies teachers and leaders need to improve behaviour.

Tom Bennett’s independent review of behaviour in schools was commissioned by the UK Department for Education to investigate and provide recommendations on behaviour management in schools.
