Apply these to the lesson plan library (how to use every plan)

• For each maths, science or social studies plan:
  • Identify the start warm-up task from the plan and make it your bell-ringer.
  • Map group tasks to the group work routine and assign roles.
  • Use the plan’s assessment items as exit-ticket prompts.
  • For practical science lessons, add the safety check and Materials Manager role to every class.
• Use the online Top Teacher 5 resources to flip content: link the videos or readings to the start routine so in-class time focuses on application.

Final checklist for every lesson

• Objective and success criteria visible.
• Warm-up ready for immediate start.
• Group roles and cards prepared.
• Timer and signals ready.
• Exit ticket prepared and collection system set.
• Blended materials assigned (if used).

Use the routines daily until they become automatic. Routines free you to focus on teaching and give students a steady, safe learning rhythm across subjects and grades.
