Teach to Learn

Description:

Adam Hartz suggests that students teach concepts to others–even to non-students–to consolidate knowledge on a topic.

Steps:

• Explicitly recommend this practice on the first day of classes, in the syllabus, and periodically during lectures or recitations
• Explain that this can help students’ brains become more efficient with a topic

Rationale:

• The Protege Effect improves the depth of students’ understanding.
