In their recently published ​‘Cognitive Science Approaches in the Classroom’ report, the EEF state the following about retrieval practice:

Retrieval practice describes the process of recalling information from memory with little or minimal prompting. Low stakes tests (such as individual questions or quizzes) are often used as methods of retrieval practice as these require pupils to think hard about what information they have retained and can recall. When used in this way, tests can be a strategy for learning in addition to being an assessment of learning. The retrieval practice evidence base (both basic and applied) suggests that testing learning is often a better strategy for learning than restudying or recapping the same information.

Retrieval practice is taking an increasingly prominent role in our schools, but there is little guidance about the optimal ways to implement it in the classroom. 

In this webinar, we’ll share the most important messages from the evidence on retrieval practice and what effective implementation looks like in our schools.

We’ll hear from school leaders across Bradford who have implemented retrieval practice and wrestled with the challenges. Using practical examples from their experiences, they will share what they see as the fundamental elements crucial to successful implementation and some of the possible pitfalls
