What is this strategy about?
Design and establish an efficient routine for pupils to enter and begin the lesson. Realise that every lesson begins the minute the pupils walk through the door.
Why is it important to have a routine in the classroom?
Routine in the classroom is essential to help teachers maintain order and structure. This will provide students with a predictable environment and save valuable learning time as it will allow you to focus on teaching.
How do I put this into place in my classroom?
This strategy needs to be done, without fail, at the start of every single lesson.
