planning
Planning is the key to having a effective class, I have found the best plans have away of becoming a disaster, if one element/factor does not go the way you've planned. Back up plans are always good to have in place.
Bonita,
Your comments made me smile because in spite of my best planning it seems my Plan A never works. I quickly find myself using Plan C or D or E and maybe F. So we need to make sure we have plenty of back up strategies to pull out if our first choice does not work.

I like to stay organized in order to present myself as being prepared for the students
i try to prepare for the course I teach by researching things related and bring them together so my students stay focused on the subject we are studying.
Rodney,
Knowing that their learning leader is knowledgeable and prepared is a powerful message to send to students. This sets the stage for earning their respect and the development of rapport.
