In this episode, I’m joined by cognitive scientist, educator and all-round powerhouse, Dr Janell Blunt, to unpack one of the most powerful learning strategies you might not be using enough: retrieval practice.
We dive deep into how small changes in your PDHPE, CAFS & Health and Movement Science classroom practice can lead to massive results for your students...without adding more to your plate. From the power of mini whiteboards to demystifying flipped learning, interleaving and active recall, Janell shares practical strategies you can implement tomorrow.
Whether you teach Stage 6 or are looking to improve student outcomes across the board, this conversation will challenge the way you think about memory, revision and the science behind how we learn.
💡 We cover:
What retrieval practice actually is and why it works
How to use it daily with zero extra prep
Misconceptions about effective study habits
Tips for working with reluctant learners
Why being your authentic teacher self matters
This one is packed with gold.
You’re going to want to take notes and then cover them up and retrieve them later 😉
