Assemble your teaching methods with structure and enthusiasm. Get excited about what you are teaching to stimulate a student's learning. Identify how the course material is relevant by using examples directly applicable to the students' own experiences. Remain prepared and organized in how you are conducting each class so every part of the day is filled with learning.
Make the students collaborators and leaders in their own learning. Ask as many questions as possible to rouse the minds and imaginations of the students. Give confidence to students by making them find ways to attack a learning issue or solve a problem.
Avoid language that emphasizes your role as an authority. Keep away from mandating language -- "I demand" or "You must," for example. Use inclusive vocabulary -- "I will be curious to know if you...," for instance -- that makes students feel valued.
Set expectations and high standards for your class. Make sure standards are realistic for the group you are teaching, but keep integrity high in challenging students to live up to these standards. Celebrate successes in learning and when students meet important benchmarks. Challenge students to take ownership of their own potential by acting as if you anticipate their willingness to work hard and take learning seriously.
