Hi Jacob:
Yes, and we sure want the student to feel confidence in our abilities and trust we are competent to teach the class. And that's fairly easy to demonstrate by getting our lesson to gether, gathering needed resources, having a well thought out game plan for the class, and then, be natural and comfortable in our delivery.
Students pick up on these attributes - good or bad. And impressions (fair or not) are quickly formed and difficult to change once formed.
Regards, Barry
