Students don't always forget because they didn't learn.

Often, they forget because they didn't retrieve.

One of the most effective classroom strategies I've used is Retrieval Practice—the simple act of asking students to recall information from memory rather than re-reading

[Dr. Ola @olasaintt]

A few minutes of retrieval practice, each lesson can have a significant impact on student outcomes over time.

As educators, we're not just helping students learn for today's lesson—we're helping them remember for next week's lesson, next year's exam, and beyond.

💡 Interview Tip: Use the STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) when answering questions. Panels are looking for evidence of impact, not just theory.
