Not knowing an answer to a question should never be over looked. Letting the student know that your not sure but you will find out is the only way to go. Better than them finding out you were wrong.

Hands on

Some students seem to do better in the classroom after they have performed the task. I think you should mix the classroom up with the lecture and props.

Keeping them engaged

Im a big fan of short lectures. You can see it when they start to drift away. Being long winded is means I'm not keeping up with there needs. I have to step back sometimes.

Being clear

Being very clear on what is going to take place during the class is very important. I don't like to leave anything that can be turned in a differant direction.

Goals

Letting the students know what the expected outcome of a phase is from start to finish gives them a clear view of what they need to do. Its good to remind them. Keep them engaged!

Role Model

To me one of the most important things in teaching is leading by example. Hands down!!!!! There is no way to gain respect and trust with a do as I say not as I do attitude.
