Our brand new series Pedagogy In Practice aims to provide CLPL on how to digitally embed evidence-informed teaching practices into your classroom using your Connected Falkirk devices.
Session 1 – Retrieval Practice
The first session in this series focuses on the phenomenon of retrieval practice and how it can be used in classrooms to build learners’ confidence and raise attainment. It also introduces and explores a range of digital tools that can be used to embed retrieval practice into your classroom.
Below you will find support materials that were linked to within the 2022/2023 ‘Pedagogy In Practice: Retrieval Practice’ in-person CLPL session.

During this session a number of great digital tools for retrieval practice were mentioned.
