What I have come to believe is that we need retrieval — pulling information from students memory.
Thank you for helpful and practical article.

Yes! If it isn’t retrieval, it’s definitely metacognition, and both are so important. Great work!

Retrieval makes sense. In my math classroom – we put so much focus on the common core practice standards. We call them “Think Like a Mathematician” (TLM) standards. Every time they finish solving a problem with their teammates, they work on explaining their solution with their thinking, steps, TLM practice standard, etc. Would you consider this retrieval? I think it makes them stop and think about what they’re doing as they go, and at least it makes them “retrieve” their steps once their finished. Interesting concept!
