- Being energetic in your teaching is a motivating factor in itself; adding energy to the ideas you want to convey will further enhance learning and commitment to the ideas.
- the students who teach each other will learn better than if they were learning alone.
- Work can be fun; it should be fun!
- A feeling of accomplishment and success will help motivate students to go forward, even through very difficult material.
- Teachers should strive to make learning always at least mentally active and perhaps often physically active as well. The students should be responsible for producing something, rather than just sitting passively, soaking up the lecture.
- Connect ideas to pictures or to visual images in the imagination (that is, use concrete analogies whenever possible).
