First lesson with any new class is the most important lesson you will ever give! Complete lesson.

High quality lesson by Barclayfox for the first time you ever meet any class - complete lesson, ready to deliver, use it over and over again - for each new class, every year! The most important lesson you will ever give is the first one to each new class!

Complete lesson, ready to use, you only need to spend 2 or 3 minutes completing the ‘who am I’ slide (a partly completed slide for this is included inside the lesson powerpoint).

Key Stages: KS3 and KS4 and KS5.

ALL subjects / ALL teachers.

You can use it with your tutor group too !

Use this lesson to :
Reduce the stress and pressure - on you and the students.
Sort standards of behaviour.
Improve your experience of the first ever lesson with a class.
Improve your learners experience of their first ever lesson with you.

The first lesson with a new class is the most important lesson you will ever teach. This is a truly critical lesson. It has been used and improved a huge number of times over many years.

During the lesson you will:
* Sort out the seating plan.
* Learn students names.
* Introduce yourself to the students.
* Start to discover which students will (e.g. follow instructions, write, spell correctly) and which are reticent/less skilled.
* Set and agree class rules.
* Rewards - find out which rewards the learners care enough about to try and get.
* Set expectations of behaviour
* Ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher.
* Help learners understand why work ethic is so important.
* Learn about individual learners needs.
* Learn about their individual likes (important in building relationships)
* Learn about their individual dislikes (important in building relationships)
* Start to build those critical relationships.
* Start to coach / motivate the students about learning.

This is an excellent lesson - I use it repeatedly with every new class from KS3 to KS5. Whether you are a new teach or a very experienced one this is a small investment for a great lesson to improve your experience and outcomes when you meet every class for the very first time.

Use it over and over again during the first week of school - excellent value.

Happy teaching !
Yours,
Barclayfox
