It will be beneficial to make notes,practice content, make syllabus, show students the human side of yourself. Be overall prepared to deliver.

There are a lot of styles of presenting information. There isn't one set way to successfully reach all of the students. Be prepared to produce information in a myriad of ways in order to optimize the students' success. Be prepared before you give lectures or do demonstrations. As a Clininical instructor and working in the lab, I will make sure that I have done a run through of what I am going to teach instead of just going off the cuff.
