'''8. Start with an icebreaker'''
Begin the day or class period with a brief activity to help students get to know you and each other. This sets a positive tone and helps build relationships quickly[20].

'''9. Be adaptable'''
Be prepared to modify lesson plans or activities based on:
- Student needs and abilities
- Available resources
- Time constraints

- Movement breaks
- Educational games
This helps maintain student interest and participation17<ref name="ref19">19</ref>.

This allows you to adjust your teaching as needed and ensures students are grasping the material[4].
