The best teacher I ever had was my 11th grade English teacher, Mr. Eugene Monroe Legg. This guy was a class act, up and down. He came from a heavy Ivy League background, but had the absolute best stories. He had a charming sense of humor, was very engaging, but also had a very particular way of dealing with bad apples.
In my opinion, the best thing you can do with your students to get them engaged and get their trust/respect is to treat them with the same—trust and respect. Make sure to layer your lessons with anecdotes that are relevant to what you are teaching. Also, teach outside the box.
