Any tips on ways to develop a knowledge of the Fundamentals of Instructing?

Any acrynoms? Any suggestions? I have Gleims flight instructor book, which has been helpful in getting rid of all the non-sense of the Jeppessen Books. Some of the material is interesting, but its super boring.

If your responses are simply, put the time in and memorize all the mumbo-jumbo, then I wouldn't be suprised - but I thought that it wouldn't hurt to ask if there is any better way.

Thankyou
