- eye contact - Naturally, a teacher will need to reference her lesson plans or teacher manual during a lesson but the majority of the time she should be making eye contact with her students to bring them into the lesson/presentation of material.
- audible, assertive voice - Teachers must be heard by all students in the room, so a teacher should have a loud, audible speaking voice that is not monotone to keep the children's interest.
- knowledge of the topic - When a teacher feels comfortable teaching about a topic or skill, it will come across in the presentation. The teacher should be able to talk freely and casually, because in my opinion, the environment is more inviting to questions from her students.
A few more important tips to be a good presenter in the classroom:
- keep reading to a minimum
- allow enough time for students to copy notes (when applicable)
- keep the presentation interesting and attention-grabbing but not too busy
- give real life examples or personal experiences
