Attached are two CPD sessions based around retrieval practice that I used to launch retrieval practice across our school. The first session discusses the theory of memory, based on the principles outlined in ‘Make Learning Stick’ and ‘Why dont students like school?’, including the forgetting curve, the difference between working memory/ long term memory and cognitive load theory. The second session discusses the main principles of retrieval practice based on Rosenshine and recent publications. The session also provides a range of examples of different retrieval activities. I have included the templates for these activities for you to share as well. Both sessions went down extremely well with staff, and helped develop retrieval practice on a whole school level. The resources could easily be adapted for a departmental level and also sharing with older students. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
