Step 9: Enhance Retention and Transfer

1. ■Inform the learner about similar problem situations
   

2. ■Provide additional practice
   

3. ■Put the learner in a transfer situation
   

4. ■Let the learner review the lesson
   

5. ■Students can apply information to personal contexts
   

6. ■Personalizing information can increase retention

Examples:

Providing an Essential Question (EQ) for each lesson allows students to think of personal experiences that relate to the topic being taught.  This is helpful to refer to briefly before instruction, but even more beneficial to discuss after a lesson to aid in retention and transfer to other contexts.
