Hi Mark, As they say practice makes perfect so you are on the right track. You might want to use some small group activities and discussion sessions to help you ease into being in front of the class. Develop a 15-20 lecture with supporting media, deliver it and then have a discussion session this will let you relax a bit because the attention shifts around the room as different students talk. Then you can do another lecture, then another activity and before you know it you will feel at ease in front of your students. I wish you the best in your teaching efforts. Gary
