Limit steps to demonstration to 5-7 due to the ability of retention decreased with more steps.

"Everyone enjoys having his or her name acknowledged and remembered by someone else, especially if the person doing the acknowledging is a person in authority. This is why you must work extra hard at learning the students’ names as quickly as possible from the first day on. You have already called roll so you have had one run through of matching names with students. Also, the students have created name tents so you are looking at faces and names."

I am horrible at remembering names. This will be helpful.

A syllabus can be useful in planning every aspect of your instruction. Update it often.

Do not act like you are the smartest person in the room and show your students why you love the subject! Be credible, candid, compassionate, committed, and clear!
