Course overview
What is this qualification?
Retrieval practice is one of the best evidenced things a teacher can do, and one of the most often misunderstood. This masterclass explains why recalling information strengthens memory, and shows how to build low-stakes retrieval into everyday teaching without piles of marking or high-stakes testing.
You will see worked examples across classroom, workshop and workplace settings, and take away routines you can use in your next session. A CPD certificate is issued on completion.
