Practicing to Ensure Preparation
I am curious if any of you actually rehearse a class period from time to time. When we assign students to do speeches or presentations, we always emphasize how important it is to rehearse, but do we ever rehearse and evaluate our own performance as instructors?
Obviously, this isn't something we would have time to do for every class period every day, but I do sometimes rehearse my lesson plan for the day to ensure preparedness and check on the accuracy of the times I've allotted for each activity/lecture.
Hi Trevor,
Good plan. This way you can also make any changes you need to make as the course and students dictate. Change is always a constant when teaching as you well know.

yes, I like to rehearse my lesson plans prior to class. it helps with delivery and ease within myself. I try to do this as often as I can.
