Keep up-to-date records on grades
and attendance--and keep them in duplicate. If you record them
electronically, always print out a record after each set of
entries.
Bring chalk or a white-board
marker, and it pays to carry an eraser with you as well.
You must give students a course
requirement sheet within the first two weeks of class. This
outline should include how you will compute their grade, what kinds
of assignments and tests you will give, how you will structure the
course, what types of class participation are expected, what
textbook(s) students are required to buy and your attendance
policy.
Students should only have their laptops open if you want them to use laptops. You have the
right to ask them to keep them closed if you don't think the laptop
is necessary to instruction at that moment.
It's good to always the remember the basics: don't try to talk
while you are writing on the board--students can't hear you when
you are not facing them. And try to give equal attention to
students on both sides of the room; most teachers tend to favor one
side over the other--and some tend to pay more attention to the
questions of one gender over the other.
Remember: KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!
