Reflection on Sousa’s Primacy/regency theory

The primary/regency effect means that students retain the information they learn at the start and end of the lesson most. My AT’s and my lessons started with information heavy. The first 5 to 10 minutes of the lesson is usually teacher lead to give information or instructions. This involves hooks and examples and guided questions.

However, the ending of the lessons were mainly instructions to clean up and move to next task and no clear recap. Some lesson plans did have a closing recap and run through success criteria but due to time it was never fully implemented. In the future I aim to focus on the closing of the class and leave ample time to recap learning and success criteria to take full effect of the regency effect.
