Two research questions were raised and two hypotheses were formulated. Descriptive survey research design was employed. Population comprised 730 senior secondary school commerce students in 7 selected public schools in the LGA. 258 students were sampled using Yamane sample size formula. Primary data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire titled: “Teachers’ Behaviour and Academic Performance Questionnaire” (TBAPQ, r = .813)”. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed there is a moderate level of teachers’ classroom discipline (x? = 2.858) and teachers’ instructional methods (x? = 2.512) on students’ academic performance. Test of hypotheses showed a positive significant relationship between teachers’ classroom discipline and students’ academic performance (r = .334, P< 0.05) and between teachers’ instructional methods and students’ academic performance (r = .297, P< 0.05). In conclusion, teachers’ behaviour in areas of classroom discipline and instructional methods have a significant relationship on students’ academic performance in Commerce.
