Stepping into a program of study it is very important to do pretests. Vocabulary, general familiarity, and previous dok quizes are invaluable for planning.

Clear grading policy makes it easy for students to understand why their grade is at X.   I use an LMS that does most grading automatically and easy to understand rubrics for all lessones and tests removes most arbitrary questions. Studenst and parents have near real-time grade book views from a smart device.

I am building blended content for the covid year. Pacing and content chunking will be more important this session. 

I came to public education as a corporate trainer. PPT is a hightech flip chart instead of tear-offs you have the "appear" functions and you dont have to make the sounds yourself... "Ta DAHHHH". But heh maybe you need redirecting distractions, besides it makes it more fun for everyone. 
I would only add a comment or two. Color is important, take some consideration in avoiding the Color Blind ranges of color and if you created dividers with color also include high contrast borders. 
Never use full, complete scentences unless it is a quote, or you are not doing the presentation… >>>
