Bernoulli, you're a CFI right? One thing to remember that lots of guys have done over time to not overload the student with information. I've seen way to many CFI's that wanted to show how much knowledge they had which led to confused students in the end. I liked the KISS method and it worked very well for me. I was able to get students through their ratings faster than usual for my school.
I taught the basics. Pitch, power, trim. In that order because students will try to fly the airplane with trim if you'll let them and they will chase all day. Sure. let them make big changes but hold off on the final pitch until cruise is achieved. So far as pitch and power, pick a spot on the runway on final, make it "THE" spot to "pitch" for. I used to use dry erase or little stickers on the windshield. Put the sticker on the spot and use power to get the airspeed right. It's amazing how quick a student will develop a stabalized approach doing that.
Pitch, power, trim.
BTW, I love the, "Pitch for airspeed down the runway." Classic. Wish I had heard it sooner.
