Margaret, Wow! What a load you have. There is so much I could share with you but in the forum format I'm not sure the information would be as effective as it should be for your use. As a new teacher with a lot of planning to do, I would suggest that you try and get copies of the outlines, syllabi and any handouts that were used in the courses you are going to teach. Do a inventory of your personality and how you see it working for you as you teach, meaning are you more casual, formal, easy going, structured. Then build your delivery from that. Have some ice breakers ready that you can use the first class meetings. This will let you get to know your students in a more informal way while you will be taking stock of who the students are and how you are going to work with them. Be confident, be clear, be consistent, and be yourself. Have an outline of what you want to cover each class session, put the objectives on the board for the students to see and then plan your instruction around how you will accomplish those objectives. Things of media use, testing formats and other aspects of teaching can be integrated into your skill sets as you develop experience with each course taught. You will be surprised how quickly you will start to settled into the teaching role. I wish you much success. If you have any questions please contact me and I will be glad to talk with you further.
