I already start class with the objectives for that day posted on the board. I also start with an engaging activity at the start to reward students for being to class on time. I need to focus more on the finish to my lessons. Because students are typically working independently at the end of my class, they may be at different points in the lesson. Maybe because of this, I haven't been completing class with a formal debrief, highlighting what we have learned for the day. Also, I like to encourage students that struggle to stay longer than those that don't to allow for time at the end of class for struggling students to seek help without an audience. I can achieve both however. I can sum up the lesson formally, while still allowing for students that need extra help to stay after.
