Avoiding Reteaching
Teach in smaller chunks. Give weekly tests rather than unit or chapter tests. Given in smaller chunks, material is absorbed easily. Review as part of teaching rather than as part of reteaching becomes a habit. Every time you are going over a new concept, show the students how it relates to the old one by using sentences like, "Recall last week when we..." or "Does anyone remember how to...?" This extra minute or two in your lecture time is more than made up for in your Independent Study time. Students feel more confident of their ability, recall more information, and, best of all, recognize that they cannot "just learn it for the test."
