need to
Welcome them and call them by their name

Begin and end your lesson in the same way each time
‘Hello song’
Have all your papers ready
‘Goodbye song’ or simply a mini-conversation
Discipline
You must have a ‘system’
Smiley and sad face on the board
Yellow cards for minor naughtiness and red cards for mores serious misbehaviour
Seating arrangements
Eye contact with everyone
Bare minimum on their desks
Only the teacher uses sharpeners
Class rules since day one
Large classes and mixed abilities
Ss should always have something to do
They should always be challenged
Use the stronger pupils as resources
Have a reserve of extra activities for those who finish very quickly
Vary the type of activity and grouping you use
The louder you shout, the louder they will become
