Hi Peggy,
Right you are! You have to be organized as an instructor as well as a worker in the field of surgical assisting. By giving the students an organized learning environment you are setting the stage for their learning as well as giving them a role model to follow. As you know modeling a desired behavior is as important if not more so to talking about it.
The students can see order, sequence, and structure to what your teaching them and for your adult students take a bit longer to grasp the course content they have the added advantage of seeing the structure and sequence laid out for them.
