List 5 things you do to prepare for teaching a class.

I never teach anything in a class that I haven’t done myself recently.

I review the last few classes and my notes about things that came up or things I noticed happening that I want to change or focus on.

I review any changes that I decided to make in the class.

I make sure I have all the equipment I need and that it is in good condition.

I take a moment before I enter the class area to remind myself that it is up to me to make the class a positive experience.

I am sure I do a few things differently from week to week and class to class, but these things are fairly constant in my prep.
