Overview

Learning isn’t just about effort—it’s about understanding how the brain works. Many students don’t realise that forgetting is a natural process. Cognitive science shows that new information fades quickly unless we revisit it at the right times, a phenomenon known as the Forgetting Curve. This session explores practical strategies to strengthen memory and learning, including Spaced Retrieval Practice, which helps students move knowledge into long-term memory without cramming. We’ll look at how these techniques can be embedded into everyday study routines to improve retention and confidence. Participants will also discover a structured approach to teaching study skills across the year. Each week introduces a simple, evidence-based strategy—such as Smart Notes, Blank Page Retrieval, Goal Setting, and Time Management—supported by short, accessible resources for classroom use. Beyond academics, we’ll discuss ways to help students manage stress, maintain motivation, and reflect on their progress to build resilience and balance. By the end of this session, educators will have practical tools and insights to help students learn more effectively, remember longer, and take ownership of their learning journey.
