Hi Christine:
Well prepared teachers have preceded class with thought, effort, time, and planning.
It's true some days are better than others, even when we feel we're prepared adequately. One comfort is if we're honest with stdents, we won't loose their respect. Faking it will almost guarantee it.
Try the "four C's": Coordination, competence, confidence, and caring. Each contains elements that result in better classes, because we're trying, and students will notice.
Regards, Barry
