I like the idea of just-in-time teaching but I don't think that's really what's being described here. In this more formal model what we have is a student taking a pre-test on the day's content and then being taught what they don't know. Almost as an afterthought, part of the plan encourages active learning. But I'm not really seeing how it counts as just-in-time when the topic has been decided well ahead of time. P.S. I don't know what the stand-along 'J' in the headline means; I'm just following my long-standing practice of using the article headline for my headline.
