Stick the Learning
Brain-Based Teaching Techniques to Increase Retention, Application, and Transfer
Research shows that desirable difficulties as achieved with spaced repetition, interleaving, and retrieval (SIR) have positive long-term impacts on student learning, because the learning sticks. This book guides you through these three techniques for a more brain-compatible classroom geared toward student success.
Benefits
- Understand the SIR techniques that support a brain-compatible classroom
- Use activities to better implement SIR in the classroom
- Understand the importance of utilizing repetition and interleaving alongside retrieval
- Increase student achievement
- Reflect on their own growth and success in implementing SIR techniques
