One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.

Today was a bit of a working session. Much of the class time was used working on whatever assignments that we needed to get done. The focus of my work was the class management system. My unit is going to be centered around poet/author Shel Silverstein and subjects that are related to his stories and poems. For example, an activity (hopefully, depending on if I can find one or not) on the environment, which relates to The Giving Tree and Susie Stout Take the Garbage Out. So far so good.
I appreciate the above quote mainly because it's short but I also feel it's relate able for many teachers. A prepared lesson is delivered with confidence, every teacher know this. The same is true for life. If you are prepared for life, you'll go through it with confidence.
Yes, preparation is a must to have a successful lesson. And the students will know that you know what you are talking about.
