You mean as far as what to look for from your teacher, or what to work on now? If you mean the second one, scroll down the topics page and there are a few good discussions that have already been brought up about starting out.
As far as lessons, make sure they are teaching you fundamentals, and the theory behind stuff. Anyone can sit down and learn a song, but that's all you end up knowing: a couple of songs. Rather, they should teach you the foundations of songs, and you can use that knowledge to play ANYTHING you want. Don't get me wrong, it's cool to have a teacher break a song down for you, but you need to make them explain stuff like "why does this work musically?" "Why does this go with this?" and so on.
I had a friend that took lessons (after playing for a few years) for about 6 months, and came out knowing a couple of songs note-for-note, but really hadn't improved otherwise. Not cool.
Hit us back if that didn't answer your questions. AND HAVE FUN! The guitar is the greatest instrument EVER (I'm kidding, I'm a little biased!). For real, though, it's a great instrument, very expressive, soulful, and all that good stuff. Pick it up and run with it!
God bless.
