Always practice demonstratons before performing them for the class.....and have a backup plan.

Be sure to share a little bit about yourself so that you are more relatable to the class and they have confidence in your field experienc/knowledge.

For class, have a checklist handy to keep yourself organized and make sure you do not forget anything pertinent for that day's lesson. Also arrive early to mingle with the students before class begins. This helps you get to know them on a more personal level.

Model for my students the behaviors I know will make them successful in the field.
