Etymology

The term 'reteaching' is derived from the prefix 're-', indicating a repetition or returning to a previous state, and the verb 'teach', which comes from Old English 'tæcan', meaning 'to show, to inform, to instruct'. In educational contexts, the concept of reteaching has evolved as a response to the need for differentiated instruction, recognizing that not all students learn in the same way or at the same pace. As educational theories and practices developed, especially in the late 20th century, educators began to adopt more responsive techniques to address the diverse needs of learners. Reteaching has become an essential part of formative assessment practices and response-to-intervention (RTI) models, where ongoing assessment helps teachers identify students who require additional support. Thus, the term 'reteaching' encapsulates the modern educational commitment to ensuring all students achieve mastery in their learning endeavors.
