 Hello good evening everyone. I'm coming to you from a secret location in Hull, I'm working with Hull College tomorrow. So I want to just share a few short video tonight about the rule of retrieval practice. A piece of research that I've quoted in my book, Just Great Teachings. You're going to get all the resources underneath this video. But Tafiki and Grimaldi, a research from 2012 found that retrieving information two or three times produced a hundred and fifty percent retention or an improvement in students long-term retention as teachers. That's quite important to know. We want our kids to remember stuff and coming into the exam season, if you haven't started that already, it's really important. So my best resource is from the Learning Scientist. I don't know if you can see this. I'm going to try and touch the screen so we can get a better view. Or probably not. There we go. So simple grid now. Top left says last month. Top right last week. Bottom right last lesson. And then we've got the bottom right to clarify misconceptions. It's a simple little, I think it's a great little curriculum model. It's great for lesson planning. And if teachers protect three, four, five minutes at the start of every lesson, that's not necessarily just the start. But it's really important to plan an injury lesson. But I would say do it at the start because you're trying to get kids to remember what was learned before. Now some simple things you can do. I'll give you five tips. One, you might want to, if maybe you were in a classroom where you've got physical objects, you might want to hide them all under a towel and get students to remember. Tip number two is try some official exam papers, which is what is pretty bread and butter stuff for teachers. Three, mnemonics and flashcards, then checking through classroom notes, so hiding them. I guess the best definition I can give you with retrieval practice is the simple art of writing it down or saying it out aloud before you've actually seen the content. Identify gaps, try again, connect concepts as well as definitions. Now, my favorite technique that teachers can use is questioning techniques. I'm going to send you and contact me private through Twitter in the direct message. I'll send you a questioning resource, which comes from Mark Planteech. I'll send you a whole set of slides that you can use for retrieval practice for your own professional development. You may want to then edit the slides for your teacher training sessions. So let me just try and get this around. There we go. There's some slides. There's nine effective questioning strategies. My favorite is pose, pause, pounce, bounce. You've got cold, cold, no opt-out. Fermi questions. The question matrix, mass screen or mini whiteboards. You've got red amber green kind of flashcards. You've got thumbs up, thumbs down, and then C3 before me. Thank you. So some simple techniques that you can all try. One other thing to finish off, so I told you a very short video this week, is most teachers always use think pair share, but I would argue that many don't use it very effectively. There's nothing wrong with think pair share, but you have to make sure that you don't assume children know. So when you ask children to think, sometimes just forcing them to write something down is a concrete response, then getting to pair up and share their ideas with each other or get them to show you. Or you ask them to say it out aloud, and again, you can only do that one at a time, whereas if you've got 30, the show me version is a much better technique. So that's all I'm going to share this week. Retrieval practice, a bit of research from Carpicki and Gormaldi 2012. I'll just repeat it again. The rule of three, when teachers ask students up to two or three times, students have 150% retention. So go beyond the headlines of what I'm just sharing. Read the details. I've quoted it in my blog, as well as just great teaching. I'll send you the retrieval practice grid. These question techniques are marked and teach sketch notes. And I'll connect these under this video. That's all I'm going to share this week. It's nice and short. There's the graphic or the slide you're looking for. Okay, so I'll put that on there shortly. And thanks for watching. Have a great week and hello and goodbye from Howard.
