The first 5 minutes of a lesson can absolutely be make or break for behaviour.

What you do in this time and how you prepare for it can be the deciding factor between a productive, calm, controlled space where students can learn, and a lesson that very quickly continues to descend into chaos.

So how to make sure those first 5 minutes are absolutely on point with what is needed to ensure the best success for you and your students?

The 3 Es.

Listen in as I talk through what these 3 Es are and how you can use them to really get on top, and stay on top, of behaviours throughout the lesson. Best part, they work on a proactive level, mitigating challenges before they arise and saving you a hell of a lot of time on addressing low-level disruptions.
