The First 5 Minutes is a 30-minute, no-prep professional development session designed for busy administrators who need high-impact staff time without the Sunday planning. Research shows students decide within the first five minutes of class whether they'll engage or check out — and most teachers have never been explicitly taught how to open class well.
This session changes that. You get a 3-page facilitator guide with a time-stamped run of show, word-for-word scripts, and built-in facilitation tips — plus a 2-page teacher handout that guides staff through a self-assessment, a routine planning template, and a personal commitment. Print both. Show up. Done.
What you get: Facilitator Guide (3 pages) + Teacher Handout (2 pages) + Teacher Self Assessment
Time required: 30 minutes
Prep required: None
