Hi Jeanie,
As teachers, we are leaders to our students. We may lead by example, but we also have a responsibility to them to be on time (or early), be available, be approachable, and also, in the process, demonstrate caring, kindness, and the encouragement that suggests we care about the students success. Preparation and delivery in an organized fashion assists making this impression on them. They will see we care.
