Being prepared for class means having a clear lesson plan and plan throughout the time allotted for instruction and having a checklist can facilitate this.
Having a checklist to keep you on track throughout your lesson is essential. It helps the instructor maintain focus and stay within the confines of the lesson plan. Additionally, actions that help the instructor to focus such as greeting students and speaking on previous in-class activities.
Always ensure concrete objectives. Be willing to modify objectives with each class addressing learning outcomes.

Being prepared, reviewing my course objectives, having a checklist
Even experienced teachers get first day nerves. Keeping a checklist of things you need to accomplish or do beforehand is helpful.
By preparing a detailed syllabus, it gives the student a map that you can reinforce along the way. It eases their stress and gives them realistic expectations about how the class will be and why it is important. I like the idea of making checklists to ensure a thorough session and carrying a notepad for questions/complaints to follow up on later.
Planning and preperation is important.
Being prepared is a must - whether a novice or a seasoned instructor.
