We practice what we preach!
With our interactive online workshop on August 14, 2025 from 1–4pm ET, enrich your pedagogy and professional growth with down-to-earth tips straight from the source: learning researchers who are also classroom teachers. Learn how you already use evidence-based methods—such as retrieval practice, interleaving, and metacognition—and gain creative strategies to strengthen student motivation, long-term learning, and success.
Approximately 1.5 hours of the workshop will be flash talks and tips from the speakers, and 1.5 hours of the workshop will be spent in small breakout groups applying what you’ve learned. Because the workshop is live and synchronous, the Zoom will not be recorded. Like a flipped classroom, attendees are expected—but not required—to learn about the science of learning in advance, and fully participate in breakout discussion to share and learn with our community.
Geared toward educators in K–12 and higher ed, our workshop will be informal, in-depth, and memorable. To get a sense of the vibe, watch our book launch video on YouTube, and here’s a preview of what to expect:
Get tips from Dr. Janell Blunt on how you can use white boards for engaging retrieval practice
Get tips from Dr. Shana Carpenter on how you can apply spacing in your lessons without starting from scratch (download her free guide on spacing)
Get tips from Dr. Lisa Fazio on how you can foster metacognition to boost long-term learning (download her free guide on early childhood education)
Get tips from Dr. Veronica Yan on how you can use interleaving by simply mixing up concepts
Equitable access is important to us. That’s why we have a sliding scale for registration:
Early Bird Rate: $79 (register by August 8)
Standard Ticket: $89
Sponsor an Educator: $129
Community Access Ticket: $49

My colleagues and I lead customized professional development at schools and universities around the world (email ask@retrievalpractice.org to request an event). Here’s what educators are saying about our workshops:
“Excellent information, with easy to do things that can make a huge difference right away!”
“Word around the college has been positive and faculty have shared some epiphanies they had about their instruction after the workshop.”
“There was retrieval practice happening all over the place after the workshop!”
“We continue to see these strategies being used throughout our campus. Thanks for helping us all learn and grow.”
