Use visual and verbal presentation techniques when teaching. For example, refer to charts and graphics to make the information more visual, or initiate group discussions to encourage verbal learning. This will help reinforce the material. This will also make your teaching more dynamic, as a range of presentation styles makes the educational material more interesting and engaging for students. Routinely ask for students to provide either spoken or pictorial answers in response to questions.
Integrate previous information into future classes, encouraging students to routinely remember their previous lessons. Often it's tempting to only teach students the material once, then move on to an entirely different element of the subject. Resist that urge. When the information is required, ask students to restudy previous content, until they can recite the material perfectly several times in succession. This practice is known as overlearning information, and is useful for solidifying it into memory.
Split large concepts and ideas into smaller, visual shortcuts. This technique is especially effective when students are required to memorize long and unfamiliar words. For example, if you're teaching elementary students about photosynthesis, they may remember the word more effectively if you ask them to imagine the concept as a photograph of a flower receiving sunlight. This will naturally assist information recall, as the photograph will cause the students to remember the name of the underlying concept: "photo" synthesis.
Use handouts to assist students in staying organized about what facts they should take away from the lesson. This will also provide them with information they can refer back to when reviewing the material taught within the classroom.
Encourage the class to actively interact with written material. You can do this by encouraging students to underline, highlight or make notes within the margins of their textbooks.
Set practice tests and other memory challenges. This practice will further reinforce the material and enable the students to prepare for more-important tests later on.
