There are no real short cuts. You need to know enough about the Theory of Evolution and related topics to cover the subject matter, and enough more to any questions you may be asked. So the amount of knowledge you need depends on the ages and interests of your students. It also depends on the timescale and objectives of your classes or lectures.
If you do not already have a grounding in geology or Biology, I suggest you obtain some comprehensive primers on these subjects, so that you can demonstrate a basic understanding of the processes of evolution and Paleontology. Your discussions will probably sooner or later encompass the evolution of humans, so it would be worth knowing a little about our ancestors.
If you think that any of your students may raise the topic of creationism, it would be worth knowing a little about these arguments and uderstand why they are false.
If your class has access to the internet, you may find some useful online sites that suit the ages and interests of your students. Encourage your students to ask questions on Wiki s and see what s they find.

When did the federal gov mandate teaching evolution?
There is NO Federal Mandate to teach Evolution. There is no Federal mandate to teach algebra, or chemistry or Latin, either. It is merely a question of being well-read and in-step with the 21st century. We do not teach phrenology in psychology; We do not teach phlogiston in Chemistry; and we should not teach intelligent design as an "alternative" to evolution. "Evolution" is a demonstration of a collection of known scientifically verifiable facts. Evolution does NOT discredit belief in God; in fact, evolution makes NO comments about the sanctity of life or the existence of powers beyond our own. Attempting to condemn evolution as a theory as an attack on religion or belief is as meaningful as eating meat on Friday, instead of Fish.
