...on my first day of teaching, that I know now:
1. Teacher's books are usually important and helpful. Use them.
2. The teacher should talk far, far less than the students. Do anything you can to involve them and make them the center of your lesson.
3. You don't need to be super-crazy/funny in order for your students to like you. Just be kind, gracious and consistent.
4. When you play a game, have all the steps worked out in your head. And be fair.
5. Don't play favorites. That's not cool at all. And students will try to play you, but resist. All the students will like you better in the end if they know that you will treat everyone the same.
Any other ideas?
