I teach massage techniques and there have been moments that I felt as though a student wanted to take my spot in front of the class. The student was catching on to everything that I was mentioning... Since she was doing so well, and the students all looked up to her, I allowed her to recap a few things that I had hoped EVERYONE would grasp by my lecture. It worked wonders! She was able to stand up and student teach, her peers asked more questions...It was truely a win-win situation for us all. I was able to catch a breath and the student was able to reiderate what I've just lectured on. Since then, I've compiled a couple of components in all of my classes to have student's present summaries. I often wonder whether or not I should give them advance notice...They all seem to "be awake" in my classes.
