Tip - Your Voice Is a Teaching Tool
How you speak, as well as what you say, has important effects in your classroom. There are several ways you can help yourself speak effectively. For example, if you tend to talk too quickly, you can write on the board as a "brake," slowing yourself to the speed at which you can write (very likely slower than you speak). You might also use color-coding on your lecture notes to tell yourself to speed up, slow down, pause for questions, and so on. For more on these and other tips for effective classroom speaking, see "Varying Speed and Tone of Voice."
