Lesson Entry and Closure

What happens in the first five minutes of your lesson sets the tone. What happens in the last five determines what sticks. This session explores how intentional entry and closure tasks can transform your instruction—from boosting engagement to deepening learning and supporting classroom management.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of what makes a high-impact lesson entry and closure

  • Practical, ready-to-use strategies that can be adapted across content areas and grade levels

  • Ideas to help your lessons start with curiosity and end with clarity

Whether you're looking to tighten your routines, raise student engagement, or make better use of instructional minutes, this session will help you make small tweaks with big impact.
