I need to start waiting before calling on a student or answering immediately. I like the idea of a thinking period.

Closed end questions are not "bad."

Work with students to get them the same content knowledge as other learners.

Everyone is at a different level of comprehension. Take time to see if students are understanding or if you need to explain a term further.

Monitoring of students is an important way to be a presence in the classroom and be nearby if help or redirecting needs to happen.

Keep on practicing to become good at lectures. You can video yourself to watch for distracting movements and tone of voice.

Choosing the proper delivery method will make all the difference to how your students retain what they are being taught.

It is important for students to get to know you as an instructor but also their peers.

Organization is key for a successful teacher. Also being present and showing you care.

Keeping up with your education and professional growth is important. This will help your learning and student impact.
