Watch our webinar with Kate Jones on retrieval practice in the classroom. Kate discussed what the science of learning research tells us about how to make learning stick, exploring in particular the benefits of retrieval practice and different ways that teachers can incorporate retrieval practice in their teaching.
 
Kate works for Evidence Based Education (EBE), a UK-based organisation which seeks to enhance the quality of teaching and learning through innovative, impactful, and engaging professional learning. This year, The Education Hub has partnered with EBE to provide New Zealand schools with exclusive access to their Great Teaching Toolkit – a comprehensive professional learning platform comprising online courses, tools, and instruments to provide feedback to teachers on their practice and development. Find out more about this amazing opportunity.
