Excellent collaborative #RetrievalPractice & #Quizzing by Y12 biologists getting ready for mock exams this week #ReadytoLearn

Y13 students have been showing real commitment to their exam preparation - supported by lots of #RetrievalPractice resources & snacks! #Ready

In a local library recently, I saw a group of Sixth Form students sitting quietly with their textbooks & notes. They were concentrating & focused. I told them I was a teacher & how great it was to see them working hard. A closer look showed piles of handwritten notes. Detailed, neat and colour coded. It's likely the notes were one of the following: 1) Information they had retrieved from memory, without looking at their textbooks, as a form of retrieval practice. 2) Information they had copied, transferred from the textbook to the page. Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, I found out the notes were copied. The students were investing their time & effort on a strategy that numerous studies have informed us, is not the most effective study strategy to support learning. Conversations with students about how learning happens & what the research tells us can be really helpful to guide & support them with their studies. #Exams #studytips #revision #retrievalpractice

📝 Attention teachers! Understanding the nuances between rehearsal and retrieval practice can significantly boost your teaching effectiveness. Learn how you can apply these strategies in your classroom practice: teacherhead.com/2022/01/16/r… 📚✨ #TeachingTips #RetrievalPractice

I’m trying to implement more #retrievalpractice with my grade 1’s. Today we did a brain dump about measurement: 1. Write/draw what you know 2. Discuss with your group 3. Add more I could *see* their effort as they were pulling ideas from their LTM. @patricebain40 @AmberBHaven

Retrieval practice works. We’ve known that for years. But better remembering doesn’t automatically mean better applying. A new study shows where the limits are. #education #learning #retrievalpractice #edresearch theeconomyofmeaning.com/2026…

Yesterday. Three days ago. Last week. That's the spacing that makes learning stick. This recall slip builds it right into your routine. 🧠 #RetrievalPractice youtube.com/watch?v=EW5OF3ij…

Even in the middle of essay filled exam prep, a short brain break can boost focus. Today our Higher RMPS class used revision hangman to revisit key terms-low stakes, high impact. #RetrievalPractice @LesmahagowHigh

Once again, we had the pleasure of spending a full day with our @CyFairISD @CFISDLOTE teachers! On deck: Brain-Based Cognitive Engagement activities that encourage student discourse. #RetrievalPractice #HighYield @CyFairProfLearn

Every time you pull knowledge from memory, you’re not just checking it—you’re reshaping it. Retrieval isn’t recall. It’s reconstruction. That’s why testing teaches. And remembering rewires. 🧠⚡️ #retrievalpractice #memoryscience #learningscience #languagelearning #pedagogy #brainbasedlearning #learningthatlasts #teachsmarter

US History students were locked in today using flashcards with our “speed dating” retrieval practice strategy! ⏱️📚 Rapid rounds, quick recall, and stronger memory of key people, events, and vocabulary. #USHistory #RetrievalPractice #LHS @MCWilkinsPhD @LithoniaHigh

Is retrieval the same as revision? Not really. Revision is often end-loaded; retrieval works best when it’s built into daily teaching and spaced over time. 'How to use' the 5-Minute Retrieval Plan and embed #retrievalPractice, step-by-step bit.ly/49tdgY1

Elementary science: Here’s a chant to remind Ss how metamorphic rocks form. Use the chant as an attention grabber for #retrievalpractice #scienceteacher #dualcoding

Checking to see if X is interested in seeing my chants and songs for 5th grade science and language arts…? This one is for waxing vs waning moon phases. 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 #dualcoding #science #teacher #learning #retrievalpractice

I saw the same taxi driver today - the one I gave the masks to before Christmas. She had the masks to hand. She wasn't wearing one. And she wasn't familiar with how to put them on. A🧵about how learning happens. #EduTwitter #OneOfTheTwo #12DaysOfMasks #RetrievalPractice

Year 4 have been building confidence in our Cymraeg Bob Dydd sessions by answering “Sut mae’r tywydd heddiw?” ☀️🌧️ Today we revisited and practised the sentence patterns we’ve learned through retrieval practice – bendigedig, Blwyddyn 4! #CymraegBobDydd #RetrievalPractice

Un error habitual es aceptar las respuestas de algunos alumnos y dar por sentado que todos tienen el mismo nivel de comprensión. Debemos asegurarnos de que todos los alumnos de la clase tengan la oportunidad de evocar información de su memoria. @KateJones_teach #retrievalpractice

Quality infographic - so important to avoid lethal mutations in order to maximise the effectiveness of retrieval practice. #tandl #retrievalpractice #teacher
