Teaching & Presentation Style
Be clear about what students are to learn and why it will be useful.
Relate new tasks to previously learned skills.
Give students a vision of what they will be able to do eventually.
Rally the enthusiasm and energy of students, particularly when asking them to do something difficult or challenging.
Teacher behavior is a decisive factor in student behavior – students are more likely to pay attention to teachers who are dynamic and exciting.
Think about your favorite teacher, chances are they were interesting
