If the lesson ends in noise or confusion, that is what the class will remember when they next meet you.

DO

• Talk to the whole class to round off a lesson.
• Summarise what has gone on, if your lesson requires this treatment.
• Make a note of unfinished work and anything you must remember for next time, while it is still fresh in your mind.
• Sometimes tell the students what will happen next week to motivate them to return.
• Make any announcements at the end of the lesson so that the students remember the information.
• Put back any furniture you have rearranged.
• Clean the board.
• Check the classroom is reasonably clean.
• If it is the last lesson, close windows, switch off lights and escort the students to the Wudhu area.

DON’T

• Walk out, ignoring the class, or ignore them as they leave.
• Ask the class to remind you to do something the next time – it is your job.
• Finish the class early and let everyone out – it disturbs the lessons for other teachers.
• Leave the room in a mess.
