A note about “spaced practice”:

Teachers may assign more tasks that are not necessarily evaluated but are intended to consolidate learning. This ensures that concepts are not taught in isolation, memorized and then forgotten. Evidence-based practice would assume that the student is able to demonstrate their understanding at any point in time. Spaced practice enables consolidation of learning. Key outcomes are revisited throughout the year. Spaced practice may also provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate understanding over time.
