Just realize that once you get started the rest will just flow easily because you are prepared.

One thing you can do is concentrate on your breathing, like in on count 1 hold 3 counts out on 5. Gives you something to think about. Also practice in front of a mirror and then friends who can critiique.
Things to watch out for: rocking back and forth, fidgeting with your hands, not looking up from your notes at the audience, letting your voice die off at the end of a sentence or paragraph.
Do lay out everything you need the night before so you are prepared and calm as you can be instead of running at the last minute for something you can't find, that is very important.
Get there early and take time to relax if you can... Prepare yourself mentally by imagining a good outcome on your speech, tell yourself outloud I will do a good job.
Write down your goal for the speech 20 times at least 2 days before and the day before. Your subconscious mind will work on ways to make this come true. Positive statements only or open ended questions like, how can I make this speech better?
Good luck! Everyone is afraid of this at one time or another. I just did so many I got over the stage fright, practice makes perfect.

own what u have to say if you know the subject well your peers or students will learn something
pretend what you have to say is really important
confidence in your ability is key
pretend you r talking to naked people
don't worry if you worry thats when it gets difficult

Take a deep breath and count to ten beforehand. Also, think positively, and don't think your going to muck up, because you will.

Just by keeping one's mouth shut.
