As a teacher, like a salesperson, you must first believe the information you are selling is everything your students need right here and right now. Finding a solution to the hard sell is no easy task, as all teachers realize. To be effective, you must capture the interest of the student in the first 5 minutes of class. If you have not accomplished this task, the lesson will be a wash out. It is these factors that create the sales pitch that never fails to close the deal.
Enthusiasm is the greatest contributor to success in the world today.
It is also a contagious disease. When the teacher displays this energy, the students rally around it. This idea lets the students know the upcoming lesson involves active learning whereby the students will participate to achieve the final outcome. The second factor is organization. Everyone trusts continuity.
