we  Find  the  latest  tested  strategies  you  can  easily  apply  in  your  teaching  to  help  your  student .           (Using  the  research)

Long  term  memory  is  often  increased  when  some  of  the  learning  period  is  devoted  to  retrieving  the  to-be-remembered  information.

Give out frequent quizzes to help students  actively recall information and new material presented in class

Testing  doesnt  need to be  time consuming for  the  teacher.

    Heres what  you  can  do  to  avoid  having  to  spend  time  grading  quizez  while  at  the  same time  your  students  will  benefit  from  the  testing effect::

After introducing  a  concept  and  using  one  or  two  examples  to  show  how  the  concept  works  present    the  next example  for  the  students to  tackle (  this  works  especialy  well  with  math  instruction  although it  can  be  applied  to  other  subjects  as  well)   ,  when  the  students   have  had  enough  time  to  do  the  example  ask  them  to  hand  their  paper  to  the  student  sitting  next  to  them ,   then have  the  students  review  and  grade  the  work  of  their  neighbors.    After  handing  back  the  work    have  a  class  discussion on the  example. 

although  it  is  better  to  not  have  the  grade  for  the  quizes  effect  the  final grade  ,  you  can  set  up  a  point  system  where  by  the  students  will  be  rewarded  for their  effort      

Students differ greatly from one another, not only in their intellectual capabilities : some proceed from the general to the specific; some refuse to pay attention to details before they have acquired an overall view, while others cannot see the forest before having examined each tree .
