Yep, so true.
I was chosen to lecture at the RAN Engineering School because I was thought to be good at my job. I learned just where my real weaknesses were, once I been instructing for a few months. I found that I learned almost as much from the curly questions of basic trainees as I did from my peers.
Asking students to come out front and explain to the class what they have just learned (making them teach) has two benefits. This not only tells you if the student understands, but if your methods of teaching are effective.
