P - Passion
Content Passion:  Within your subject matter, what are you passionate about teaching?
Of all the stories and truths you teach which are the ones you most enjoy?

Ministry Passion:  Within ministry, but not specific to your subject matter, what are you passionate about?
What is it about teaching that drives you?

Personal Passion:  What are you passionate about?
Almost every personal passion can be incorporated into the classroom.

I - Immersion

R - Rapport
I model the behavior I want from my student.

A - Ask and Analyze
Creativity is not the possession of some special class of artistic individuals, but is rather something that can be nurtured and developed in all of us - including your students.

T - Transformation
"Don't position your material as if it is awful tasting medicine.  Position your content as if its amazing."

Think about how you would explain your class.

E - Enthusiasm
ACT enthusiastic!
"Even if you are acting at first an amazing thing happens along the way.  You actually start to really feel and become enthusiastic."
