- How might you work in more retrieval practice into your teaching?
- How might you work in more varied practice (distributed practice) into your teaching?
- How might you encourage students to connect prior knowledge to the new knowledge you present in your lessons?
- How might you work more repeated practice or review into your lessons to make learning permanent?
