    Research from cognitive psychology can be used to inform educational practices. In this professional development talk, Dr. Megan Sumeracki will describe three strategies—retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving—that have robust evidence to support their use in a variety of learning settings, and can be combined to create powerful learning activities. For each strategy, you will learn about evidence supporting its effectiveness, and applications that can be used in a variety of instructional settings. Participants will be given time to ask questions and for brainstorming and planning applications for their own teaching and learning environments. Resources will also be shared for participants to use after the webinar is over for continued development.
