The importance of preparation cannot be emphasized enough!
Having a teaching plan for what to accomplish during each meeting is important. Setting goals, and objectives, learning activities and other materials are necessary. Having a clear syllabus about the design of the course and an outline of expectations of students for completing the course activities are necessary.
A good understanding of the textbook layout and whether the content is presented in a logical and clear manner.
An appropriate teaching environment for the type of material being taught.
Prepare early and mindfully to make your presentation easily understood.
