This interactive workshop is designed to help educators learn how to incorporate retrieval practice into their work. The session begins with a whole group discussion about retrieval practice. Next, participants will have the opportunity to listen to a variety of podcasts that focus on this learning strategy. Finally, the session returns to the whole group for collaborative reflections, and educators will be able to exchange ideas, share insights, and discuss ways to apply retrieval practice in their own work.

Engage with other educators to problem solve and provide feedback on one another’s ideas for the upcoming year. Experience structured conversation protocols using the “Solve in Time! Design Thinking Protocol” and the “Charrette Protocol for Feedback.” Spend time exploring additional protocols for classroom use and applying next steps for implementation.

*Please bring an idea or project that you’re working on for next year to share and receive feedback.*
