How can we shape assessment practices that truly support our learners?

Join our expert panel as we unpack The Science of Learning—a research-backed approach to enhancing student progress through cognitive science principles.

Discover how cognitive load theory can help structure learning for better retention, why daily review and interleaving practice are game-changers for long-term understanding, and how retrieval practice and spaced learning reinforce knowledge. These are theoretical concepts and practical strategies you can apply in your classroom.

We’ll also explore the power of explicit instruction, the importance of checking for understanding, and how to foster a growth mindset through effective feedback.

Whether you’re a teacher, school leader, or curriculum expert, this session will provide practical strategies to apply these concepts in the classroom—helping students thrive in an evidence-informed learning environment. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with leading educational voices, be inspired, and walk away with actionable insights!

The event will be held online via Zoom.
