The second, focused on behaviour management in schools, with a particular focus on leadership, culture and systems used to tackle disruptive pupil\u2019s behaviour (published March 2017). This review highlighted strategies school leaders can employ to design, build, and maintain a school culture that prevent classroom disruption, maintain good discipline and promotes pupils\u2019 education, focus and wellbeing.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
