More than just retrieval practice! Spacing, interleaving, and feedback tips, too

There are a lot more research-based strategies than you might think.

After we published our first Retrieval Practice Guide, our website name happened to take off: retrievalpractice.org. But there are more research-based teaching strategies we can harness than just retrieval practice!

Read below for a quick rundown of our resources on a variety of strategies including spacing, interleaving, and feedback. As educators, we need to change it up in the classroom, so let's change up our toolbox of strategies, too.

P.S. We're going to recharge before the school year starts (and we hope you're recharging, too). We'll be back in two weeks on Friday, August 24. In the meantime, join us for the last weeks of our Make it Stick book clubs!

Change it Up with Spacing, Interleaving, and Feedback

Retrieval practice is powerful, but other research-based strategies are too, especially spacing, interleaving, and feedback.
