Using evidence-based practices, and using them well, is a critical way to improve student outcomes. Evidence-based practices are practices supported by research, that is, there is broad consensus in the research community that they work.
See how the Year 6 teachers at Loxton Primary School work to create a focused classroom from the beginning of the year.
Examples of practice demonstrate effective practice in different education settings. You can use them to think about how to apply the practice in your own context.
Implementation checklists are a list of practical steps you can take to support the implementation of an evidence-based practice in your setting. This checklist focuses on implementing a focused classroom.
Focused classrooms maximise students’ on-task learning time by minimising disruptive behaviour and disengagement. This guide outlines key practices for creating focused classrooms.
