Every lesson will not be a hit, and that's okay!!! You’re still learning; that’s the whole point of student teaching. You are not expected to be able to know everything and do everything, and you’re certainly not expected to do it all well. Be patient with yourself. Even veteran teachers have lessons that totally FLOP. Get feedback from your cooperating teachers for every lesson you teach so that you can continue to grow..
Come in early... This can help prepare you for your day, so when it comes time for students to come in, you can greet them, and they can have your full attention..
Organize your time Get your work done during preps and lunches so you don’t have to stay late after school/ work on weekends.
