I will make sure I always have a checklist to make sure I have covered all of the important topics. I will start creating class goals, and individual goals for each of my students. I also make sure I have a tone set in the classroom to where my students are motivated to learn and also be comfortable and confident to ask questions.
Instructional objectives should include four components: audience, behavior, condition, and degree

The ABCD parameters were something I learned that was new! And emphasizing the importance of collaborating with your fellow instructors can always be helpful
Be prepared! Review content before class. Arrive early to be able to receive students and welcome them. Keep a notepad to jot down action items and things you need to do for students.
I have learned that planning and preparation are essential steps in the process of transferring knowledge to students.

It is so important to be ready and prepared as an instructor, because the instructor does not have a second chance to make a first impression. It is always a good idea have the room set up days a head, and then a day before class starts, go back and scan the room to ensure that everything is in the right place, and you are ready to with all your nerves intact.
I really like the idea of a first day of class checklist. Over the years I have come to realize that if I don't have a first day checklist written out that I inevitably forget to mention something I wanted to mention.
Its best to arrive early and go over your checklist to make sure you are prepared.
